    (continued from previous page)
    big black dog came out the gate. The man could see the dog's eyes shining in the light of the moon. They were like balls of fire. The man was very much frightened.
    The next night at the same time, the man and a companion whom he took with him went to the same gate. They filled their pockets with stones, as they decided to stone the dog if he appeared.
    They waited and soon the dog appeared, and the two men started to stone him.
    The dog uttered an notorious scream and disappeared into a cloud of dust. He was never seen again.
