    Story
    A man went into a house one time, he lit a cigarett and went out. The people of the house were churning he took no hand at the churning. When he had the cigarett smoked he threw the butt of it away under a bridge. Some boys comming home from school were looking under the bridge, they saw all the butter. The people of the house did not know where the butter was gone to.
