When Brigid was a certain age she was sent to the dairy to churn and make butter from
cows' milk. At the end of the day she was required to have produced a plentiful return
of milk and curds and measure of churned butter. However, during each day Brigid gave
away to the poor and to the wayfarers as much milk and butter as they needed. In spite
of this at the close of each day her quota of production was always filled.
