    were chased by a water bull.
    There is one story told about a weasel, it is said that a weasel had his nest in a field of hay. When the hay was ripe some men came to cut it and they disturbed the nest. They had a gallon of water in the field when the weasel came and found his nest gone he spat in to the gallon. Then the men went and brought back the nest and the weasel spilled the gallon of water for fear the men would drink it and be poisoned.
