    After a while she took off the butter and put it on a big dish. She got a lot of cold water and salt. She washed the butter four or five times. Then she put a lot of salt in it and beat the salt into it with the butter spade. Then she weighed it up in pounds and sold it at the shop. She gets a good price for it because it is good butter.
