    One time there was a family + they were getting no profits off the milk, + they went to a witch who told them to take the coulter of a plough and put it in the fire for to redden, + who ever enters the house while the coulter is getting red will get the profits. A man came in and they were going to tear him asunder. Ever afterwards they had a good profit on the milk.
