- About three years ago there was a man in this village , who had a cow that was very ill.
Eventually the cow got worse, and the owner of the cow, fearing that she might die, sent for the veterinary surgeon. The cow died in the veterinary surgeon's presence.
A few days after that, the owner of the cow met his neighbour, who asked him what the veterinary surgeon said his cow died of. The answer he gave was, that the veterinary surgeon said that he did know what his cow died of, but that he would have to send away some of the cows utensils (intestines) to be dandelised (analysed).
