A farmer goes out to his field one morning only to find all of his cows are frozen solid. As far as the eye can see are cows motionless like statues.
It had been a bitterly cold night, but he'd never thought anything like this would happen. The realisation of the situation then dawned on him. With his entire livestock gone, how would he make ends meet?
Just then, an elderly woman asked, "What's the matter?"
The farmer gestured toward the frozen cows and explained his predicament to the women. Without hesitation the old woman smiled and began to rub one of the cows noses. After a few seconds the cow began to twitch and was soon back to normal and chewing the cud.
One by one, the old woman defrosted the cows until the whole field was full of healthy animals.
A passer-by who had witnessed the whole thing approached the farmer. "You know who that was don't you?" asked the passer-by.
"No" said the farmer "who?"
........Wait for it.....it is worth it........
"That was Thora Hird."
