  1. (no title) (continued)

    At one time there were three tailors and an old woman living together in the hill road in a small house.

    (continued from previous page)
    all disappeared and went away home. The young tialor came in first and blew the horn and turned himself into a man and went to bed. A short time after the old woman came in. She made the movement and jumped upon the table. she could not blow the horn. The young tailor shouted up from the bed and said it was under the table and she knew then that he was the greyhound that was after her.
