They they were told to get a shoe of a flinging horse's and nail it on the place where the churn was kept. They did that and they got back the butter. The shoe was supposed to bring luck on the butter.
When we call the hen's we call "tuk tuk". For the ducks we call "wheatie, wheatie". For the chicken's we call "birdie birdie". For the geese we call "leg leg". For the turkeys we call "che, che". For the pigs we call "piggie, piggie". The horses are called by their names.- Collector
