    lot of milk.
    The farmer knew by this that she was taking the milk. He went to the priest and asked him what he should do. The priest advised him not to touch the witch. But the milk was continually being taken, the farmer could not stick it any longer, and so he sent his servants for a more powerful witch and he put a spell over her and she did not take the milk any longer, but a lot of misfortune came to him and his family.
