Long ago a certain woman went into a house and the people were churning there. After a short time the woman went out of the house, the people kept on churning. They could not get any butter on the churning. At last they had to call in the woman again and they said to her, "In the name of God put you hand to this churn and try will you get any butter on it." She did so and in a cuple of minutes there was a whole lot of butter on the milk. - Collector
