- Long ago we are told some people made piseoga.
I heard of a certain woman who tried to take her neighbour's butter.
This woman was trying for a long time to make her butter and when she was tired out a man came in, and when he saw her in such a state, he asked her what was wrong?

He asked her if she had any pins in the house?
She got some pins for him and he stuck them all over the churn.
