How Ash Magna became 'Magna'

I met a friend tonight, who told me, that her uncle told her, that once upon a time there were two sons lived at either end of Ash. The two sons were given a bullock calf each. One of them reared and fattened his calf, took it to market and sold it for more calves, which he reared and sold for yet more calves, and he prospered. And his end of Ash prospered.

The other son roasted his bullock calf and his end of Ash became 'Parva'.
