- Once there was a priest and he used to go hunting every day. The priest used to find a hare at a corner of the field. When the hound used to be hunting the hare the hare would jump up to a high window in an old house. The third morning the priest carried his horse and his whip with him and when the hare was rising to jump in the window the priest hit the hare with his whip. Then the priest went into the house and there was a woman inside and her back was bleeding. This woman was supposed to have been the magic hare.
