A farmer goes out to milk his cows one day during an extremely cold spell, and to his amazment he discovers that they are all frozen solid, and he is unable to get a drop of milk from any of them.
He considers for a moment, phoning the vet, but, being a typical thrifty farmer, he is loathe to do this as he knows it will cost him serious money.
Then he has a bright idea. He prays to God and asks for an angel to come and thaw his cows out. He waits, and nothing happens.
Reluctantly he makes his way to the phone to ask the vets help. Just as he is about to lift the receiver there is a huge flash of light, and when he recovers from the shock, he sees a little old lady gently hugging one of his cows. After a few minutes the cow is completely recovered. He watches in amazement as the little old lady goes from cow to cow gently hugging each one in turn, until finally the whole herd have been thawed out.
He dashes out side and asks the little old lady if she is the angel he had asked God to send him.
"Oh No!", she replies, "I'm Thora Hird!"
