- Fairy Cow.
There was a very poor man who had no cattle and he had no money to buy a cow. One morning he went out and there was a cow lying in the field. He kept the cow until he had about six cows + heifers out of her. he said to his wife that the cow was getting old and that he would sell her. The cattle were listening and the cow started running. The rest of the cattle followed and all the cattle disappeared into a nearby lake.
