  1. (continued from previous page)
    So one morning this man went out to the byre and had with him his big hound. As usual he met the hare coming running out of the byre-door. He sent the hound after the hare. The hound did not catch the hare until it was near the house of the widow woman. There the hound got a hold of the hare and tore all its hind legs. Then the hare disappeared. The man went into the house of the widow woman and found her lying moaning in her bed and her legs all bleeding and torn.
