“One May day a man was working in his field and he...”
One May day a man was working in his field and he saw a woman walking through it. He followed her and he found that she was carrying a rope with her. She let one end of the rope fall and the man walked on it. Then the woman ran away and the man picked up the rope and took it home with him and put it into an old barrel where he kept other old things.When the man went to the barrel next day he found it was full of butter.The man went next night to the old woman's house and took some milk from her cow. The cow then withered up and died. The man went and told the priest what he had done. The priest was very angry with him and told him that he should not have done without the priest permission.
