- The Witch Who Milked The CowsThere was a man there one time, and he had twenty cows, and none of them had milk and the man never knew what he would do, so he went out early in the morning to see what was happening the cows.
He carried his gun with him. He saw what appeared to be a hare under a co squeezing out the milk, out of the udder. He fired a shot and killed the hare as he thought.
When the hare was killed it turned into an old woman and she was a witch. A Song
