    you what would be the best thing to cure a cow that would be slackening in her milk" The lady said "When you go home tell your mother to wash the cow in its own urine." When the little girl went home she told her mother what the lady said. But instead of washing the cow the mother washed the little girl. The little girl went out again the next day. But the lady wouldn't come near the little girl. The lady said "Psh, psh,, be off you dirty thing, your mother was cleverer than what I was." The lady was never seen again.
