After a while an old woman came in. She took a coal from the fire and carried it out. The taylor got a coal and put it into a tub behind the door.
The old woman did this three times and the taylor did the same three times. When the people of the house came in from milking the cows, the taylor told them to look behind the door. There they saw a large tub full of butter.

Anyone who opened them had to pay five pounds. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
