  1. (continued from previous page)
    changed herself into a rabbit and ran off out the door.
    The servant boy saw her and came to the stone and shook the power on himself and got the same change. He went off after her and saw her on the top of her neighbour's chimney and she waving her hand in the direction of the smoke saying half your butter to me.
    The boy answered saying the same thing. He ran home then and put back the box. In the morning she returned and went to bed The boy's mother had one cow and she had so much butter that she could not churn it
