About sixty years ago there lived near this lake a woman whose name was Mrs Tobin and whose husband was dead. She was a very charitable woman although she was very poor and sometimes she had scarcely enough to eat. One day she went towards the lake and suddenly she saw rising out of the lake a beautiful white cow. The cow went up close to her bellowing, but when she fled with fright the cow again returned to the lake.

Nevertheless she had great luck from that until she died.
