  1. Once upon a time their lived a man and he went hunting. This day the man was walking in a bog and he found a hare. He fired on the hare with his gun but did not kill her. The hare ran to a house in the bog and went in. The man followed her and when he went in, it was an old woman that was in it. The man went home and he never shot a hare since. The woman was sitting on a pot when the man went in.
