   One day as a man was going to Hacketstown, he saw a woman as he was going up into Hacketstow at the millspout as it is called. She was pushing the froth off of the water with her hands and said as she did so, milk milk come to me all the mill come to me, and half of it to me said the man. When he went home his cow was at the gate waiting to get milked. He went in and ate his dinner. Then he went out out to milk the cow. He filled buckets and everything about the house that would be able to hold milk, and the cow had as much milk as would fill as much more things.
