    to bring home the cow to milk her. He went over to a large rock that was beside the stream. He saw the cow kneeling on a rock drinking water. He brought home the cow and milked her. When he had her milked her put her into the field again.
    He went down to the stream and he saw the marks of the cows knees on the rock. It is said that that rock is in Lemonahan. One day St John went into the kitchen and went over to the fire. There was a very large pot on the fire in which St John saw large pieces of his cow. He told the cow to come out of the pot. The cow came out and walked out into the field after St John.
