    on the doer of this trick.
    When the coulter was reddened the woman appeared in the forge full of pain begging mercy of the blacksmith. She pleaded that if he relieved her from pain she would never do the butter trick again. So the blacksmith gave the rope on turn to the neighbours so that they all got their own butter back again.
