- Once there was a woman who use to use witch-craft. There was a man in the district who had cows and every night when he went out to milk them he would find that they would be milked.
This night when he went out he saw a hare drinking the milk from the cows. He had his greyhound with him, he set the dog on her and he followed her until she was going in on a certain window the dog bit her and when the man came up he saw that it was the witch and she was bleeding from the leg.
