- Long ago a certain man had two cows and they used to be out at night and every morning the cows would have no milk.
He did not know what was wrong with them. One of the neighbours saw a hare sucking the cow.
The owner of the cows got two grey-hounds and watched her. When she came to the cows they let out the dogs and the chase began. She made for a house and going across the half door one of the dogs broke her leg. When the men arrived there was a woman lying in the bed with the dogs having a holt of her by the leg.
