A Witch refused Butter, and the consequence.
An old hag called at a farm and begged the wife to sell her a pound of butter. This was refused, as they wanted to
pot the butter. The witch went away, therefore, empty handed. The next day when the maid went to the fields for the cows she found them sitting like cats before a fire, with their hind legs beneath them. I am indebted to my friend Mr. Lloyd Williams for this tale. A friend told me the following tale.
