    hunting afterwards.
    This hare was a witch who used milk the neighbours cows before dawn & at dusk in the fields. Their owners were surprized that their cows lessened so much in their milk. But after that the Priest banished this witch out if our parish of Tuosist & she never troubled them since but as little as did the púca of Carraig an Oizin.
