    Once there lived a man and he was very fond of shooting but he could not shoot a rabbit. One day his wife got a rabbit and she skined it and she put grass into the skin. Then she went out and put the rabbit skin standing up in front of the door. The man went out and saw it so he got the gun and fired a shot at it but it did not stir. He fired another but it did not move so went as far it and lifted it in his hand. Then he found out that it was a false rabbit.
