  1. There was once a woman spinning. While she was spinning ten wild cats came in.
    The woman got afraid and she went into the dairy for a pan of milk. Nine of the wild cats drank the milk but the other never tasted it
    When they had that drank the woman went in for another pan of milk. But when she came out the ten cats were gone. She looked every place but she could not see them.
