A Story
“A story is told about two men one morning when they were going out to look after their sheep.”
A story is told about two men one morning when they were going out to look after their sheep. When going through a gap they saw a hare milking a cow. The dogs started after her and she started to run, and it ran until it came to a thatched house. One of the hounds just caught it as it went in, and took a piece out of it. The two men went in, but there was nothing there but an old woman in the bed and she bleeding.
