    One day a crowd of men were cutting hay in a field. They had a can of milk in the field for a drink. They broke up a weazel's nest. After a while the weazel came and spat on the milk. The men were afraid and they fixed the next and the weazel went back and spilled the milk for fear the men would drink it and get poisoned.
