    wood where there are nut trees growing. The people that there is a cure in a fox's tongue for a sore wrist.
    It is said that if a person eats a piece of a hedgehog it is good for a chin cough. The fox does a great deal of harm by killing fowl. The rabbit does a great deal of harm by eating cabbage plants and turnips.
    The fox is very cute. If a man caught a fox in a trap when the fox would see the man coming he would pretend to be dead. When the man would take the fox out of the trap and leave him down he would run away.
