    One morning a man went out to drive in his cows to milk them.

    One morning a man went out to drive in his cows to milk them. When he went into the field he saw a hare milking the cows. The man back home again, and he told his servant boy about the hare. The boy went up on the horse and went back to the field, and the hare was there all the time. When the hare saw the boy he ran into a fort, and the boy followed him. When the hare went into the fort he changed into a woman. The woman then made at the boy and he tore her to pieces.
