    only cow the last one in Breffni was driven to the castle for the slaughter.
    The stranger said she was very kind to give her last sup of milk away. With that he dissapered. She said it that it must have been Christ himself. After a while a cow was seen coming out of a cave. The cow was pure white and stayed with the woman. The cow was driven to the castle severel times but came back each time. The day the old woman died the cow went back to the cave and was never seen again.
