    took out a cock and a hen. Then she threw down a grain of oats and the cock bit the hen and the hen said "that was not the way I treated you when I gave you my small fork to clean out the barn." She threw down an other grain and the cock bit the hen and the hen said, "That wasn't the way I treated you when I gave you the whistle to call the bird." She threw down the third grain and the cock bit the hen again the hen said "that was not the way I treated you when I cut of my small finger and gave it to you to rub on the tree."
