- Once upon a time there lived a woman who could steal butter by magic, she lived in Stouke. One day as another woman who also lived in Stouke was churning, she was churning for a long time and still the butter was'nt coming. It happened that a beggar man came in, he said that the butter was stolen and that if holy water was put into the churn the butter would come back he also said that the thief would be at the door next morning. The woman got the holy water put it into the churn the butter came back and the thief was at door next morning confessing that she stole the butter.
