“There was a man one time and he had cows; he used to miss their milk.”
There was a man one time and he had cows; he used to miss their milk.
So one morning he found that it was a hare that was drinking it.
So he set his dogs to chase the hare but he could not catch her.
So the following morning he got two other dogs but in vain.
Then he got a certain black dog with a white mark on his neck. She followed the hare and found that it was to a sick woman he was going.
So the man found out that it was a Ghost or a kind of a fairy and that she was taking the form of a hare.
