  1. A Story.
    Once upon a time there was a man who came to another mans house, and invited him to go ferret with him.
    Then they both went to ferret on the hill. They came to a great rock on the hill. They put in the ferret in the rock and a number of rabbits came but but they all got away.
    Then the other man said the ferret would never come out.
    The other man said that if another rabbit had come out he would have turned him into a hound, and he would kill himself often a rabbit and would be nothing more about him only there was a dead hound on the hill.
