    they ran away. The man tried to coax the cats with milk but it was no use they would not come into the kitchen. He tried to kill the rats, but they escaped him each time.
    After a few years he used to hear music in the house, but he did not know where it came from. He was a great dancer and he kept time with the strange music. Each night the same thing happened and at last the man went to the priest and asked his advice. The priest went to the man's house that night, and from that out the rats were never seen in the house.
