This story comes from an old English folktale which Lady Carolin found in
|
|||
|
|
a book of such fairy tales. We hope you dig this boffo-amazing-groovy bit of
|
|||
|
|
cow lore....

|
There was a farmer, and he had three cows; fine fat beauties they were.
|
|||
|
|
One was called Facey, the other Diamond, and the third Beauty. One morning he
|
|||
|
|
went into his cow shed, and there he found Facey so thin that the wind would
|
|||
|
|
have blown her away. Her skin hung loose about her, all her flesh was gone,
|
|||
|
|
and she stared out of her great eyes as though she'd seen a ghost; and what was
|
|||
|
|
more, the fireplace in the kitchen was one great pile of wood-ash. Well, he
|
|||
|
|
was bothered with it; he could not see how all this had come about.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The next morning, his wife went out ot the shed, and gasped with
|
|||
|
|
amazement! Diamond was for all the world as pathetic a looking creature as
|
|||
|
|
Facey - nothing but a bag of bones, all the flesh gone, and half a rick of wood
|
|||
|
|
was gone too; but the fireplace was piled up three feet high with white wood-
|
|||
|
|
ashes. The farmer decided to watch the third night; so he hid in a closet
|
|||
|
|
which opened out of the parlor, and he left the door just ajar, that he might
|
|||
|
|
see what passed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tick, tick, went the clock, and the farmer was nearly tired of waiting; he
|
|||
|
|
had to bite his little finger to keep himself awake, when suddenly the door of
|
|||
|
|
his house flew open, and in rushed maybe a thousand pixies, laughing and
|
|||
|
|
dancing and dragging at Beauty's halter till they had brought the cow into the
|
|||
|
|
middle of the room. The farmer really thought he should have died with fright,
|
|||
|
|
and so perhaps he would had not curiosity kept him alive.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tick, tick, went the clock, but he did not hear it now. He was too intent
|
|||
|
|
staring at the pixies and his last beautiful cow. He saw them throw her down,
|
|||
|
|
fall on her, and kill her; then with their knives they ripped her open, and
|
|||
|
|
flayed her as clean as a whistle. Then out ran some of the little people and
|
|||
|
|
brought in firewood and made a roaring blaze on the hearth, and there they
|
|||
|
|
cooked the flesh of the cow - they baked and they boiled, they stewed and they
|
|||
|
|
fried.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Take care," cried one, who seemed to be the king, "let no bone be
|
|||
|
|
broken."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Well, when they had all eaten, and had devoured every scrap of beef on the
|
|||
|
|
cow, they began playing games with the bones, tossing them one to another.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One little leg-bone fell close to the closet-door, and the farmer was so
|
|||
|
|
afraid lest the pixies should come there and find him in their search for the
|
|||
|
|
bone, that he put out his hand and drew it in to him. Then he saw the king
|
|||
|
|
stand on the table and say, "Gather the bones!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Round and round flew the imps, picking up the bones. "Arrange them," said
|
|||
|
|
the king; and they placed them all in their proper positions in the hide of the
|
|||
|
|
cow. Then they folded the skin over them, and the king struck the heap of bone
|
|||
|
|
and skin with his rod. Whisht! up sprang the cow which lowed dismally. It was
|
|||
|
|
alive again; but alas! As the pixies dragged it back to its stall, it halted
|
|||
|
|
in the off forefoot, for a bone was missing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"The cock crew,
|
|||
|
|
Away they flew,"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and the farmer crept trembling to bed.
