“One day a man was out hunting with two dogs and two ferrets.”
One day a man was out hunting with two dogs and two ferrets. He was out all day and got nothing it was getting dark and the man came to a big mound of clay and stone There were about six holes in this mound he put in the two ferrets. Then he put nets on the rest of the holes. He waited for a long time and there was no sign of the ferrets or the rabbits coming to the mouth of any of the holes. It was no time till two wee men came out and told him to take out his ferrets or the would kill him and the ferrets and the dogs. So the man took all with him and went home
