A Story
“There was once a man passing by Drummin Wood, Foxford going to town when he saw a rabbit sitting in the wood smoking a pipe.”
There was once a man passing by Drummin Wood, Foxford going to town when he saw a rabbit sitting in the wood smoking a pipe. The man started throwing stones at the rabbit. On his return home he met a turkey cock at the spot where he saw the rabbit. The turkey cock changed into a barrel. The barrel rolled on the road after him, and knocked him three times on the road. When he got home he went to bed and died from the shock.
