- The names of the wild animals in this district are the fox, the hare, the rabbit, the rat, the weasel, the badger. The fox, the rabbit, the rat, the weasel and the badger live in a hole in the ground and the hare lives in a form. The fox and the weasel kill hens and rabbits and the rabbits east the framer's crops. The fox eats hens and rabbits and the weasel drinks the rabbits blood, and the rabbit and hare eat grass and clover. It is said when the hounds are after the hare he would lie at the butt of the fence and the hounds would go off his track. It is also said if you would catch a lizzard by the head and tail and put his back into your mouth and make it scream three times that you would have a cure for a burn.
