  1. One night a number of cats were gathered together in a barn. As a man was passing the barn he heard a great noise and he wondered what it was. He went into the barn and he hid himself under a bundle of straw. Not long after he heard a great fit of dancing. The cats were dancing and there was another cat playing for them. The man stayed in the barn for a long time until the cats went away.
