Summary

Two men hearing the sound of churning coming from a hill/fairy knoll.

Two people heard a churning sound inside a hill and one wished for a drink of buttermilk. The hill opened and a pretty woman in green emerged, with buttermilk. The one who had wished it refused it, but his companion accepted it with thanks. The woman blessed the man who drank it but didn't ask for it, and cursed the man who asked but didn't drink it. Sometime later, the cursed man fell and broke his neck and died. The other man lived happily into old age.
