    the fairy gave her plenty.
    One day Maggie hit the white cow with a broom. As soon as she did this, all her riches disappeared. The fairy appeared in the lake and shouted "Maoel Caoel" and immediately the white cow came racing towards the lake. Behind her followed all her calves. The gold and other riches vanished. That made Maggie think of the back-to-work feeling. Her holiday was at an end.
