  1. (continued from previous page)
    he got ashamed of this black cow, and he told his wife that he was going to sell her at the the fair.
    Next morning he went to drive the cow to the fair, but when he got to the field, the black cow followed by the others ran across the rocks and into the sea.
    The foot marks of the black cow are to be seen on the rocks called the "Bullock Track". People believe that this cow came from the sea, and when she saw that the farmer was not satisfied she returned.
