  1. (continued from previous page)
    only for the dog he would have to throw the cards away. He also told him that he was in a house that morning and asked for a drink but was refused and he said it would not be long until a corpse would leave it. So Andrew asked him to come up to the house for a cup of tea. When they were going in there was a cow on the street and the little man said that that cow would soon have a good (heir) heifer calf. When he took the tea Andrew left him at the road and he thanked him and they parted. It wasent very long until a person died in the house mentioned and the cow had a good heifer calf.
