    Fairy Tale
    In olden times big white hares have been seen.
    Once a man went into his byre with a hook in his hand, he saw a white hare.
    He fires the hook and cut the feet off the hare.
    Next day an old woman came to him with the feet cut off. It was said that the woman was a witch.
    At times she changed her self into a white hare and come into people's byres and milked the cows.
    The owners of the cows could get no milk from them.
    If they got any it could not be churned.
