    Once there was a man who was a great huntsman and sportsman. He had a dog at one time his name was Fly.
    This dog was so good that when he died he skinned him and made a waistcoat of his skin. When he was going to work this morning a hare jumped out on the path before him alas said he to the skin which he was wearing for a waistcoat if you were alive that hare woultened run far. What do you think did the waistcoat do but to jump off his back and kill the hare and took him back and jumped on his back again.
