  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man noticed that his cow used have no milk in the morning. One night he went out and took a gun with him. A hare came and began drinking the milk of the cow. He fired at the hare and broke one of his legs. The hare ran away, and the man followed him. He ran after him into a small little house. When he went in he saw no hare, only an old woman and her leg bleeding.
