    three rabbits would come out of it. The Greyhound would follow the three rabbits and the hunt would be on for Bandra and Lettergullion. if the Greyhound got taking one drop of blood from any of the rabbits before they reach Bandra the man would get the gold. But he was told in his dream that there would be a life lost so he said to him self that there would be no life lost but his own. So he would not venture it.
