    (continued from previous page)
    One night there came a voice to his window and told him to go to a certain crossroad. I forget its name. There he was told there would come on a drove of cows and his would be the second one. When his would come to the crossroads to hit her with a stick and turn her.
    When he arose next morning he did as he was bade and went to the crossroads. The cows came on and his was amongst them. He turned her and drove her home.
