- (continued from previous page)The man gave the cat a stroke of the reins, and all of a sudden it became a big black calf with huge eyes in it. The man was very much frightened when he saw the calf. The next night another man came to the shed to get a bundle of the thatch for a bed for his pig. A man stood by and would not let him take the bundle of straw.
