- Once upon a time a man had a grey-hound and a small terrier. As he was living in a poor country, he had no hares or rabbits to see. One day, it happened that he saw a hare drinking a cows milk in the fields. She could turn herself into a woman by blowing into a horn. The man had a gun but did not like to fire at the hare because he might break the cow's leg. He set the hound and terrier after the hare. The hare escaped until she was going in a window of a house. She and the terrier took a bite off her going in. She blew into the horn and turned herself into a woman. The man came and asked them did any hare come in to them and they said, "No." He went up in the room and found her in bed bleeding.
