    (continued from previous page)
    The man said that he would carry the cat to the Shoemaker to take his measure and the cat said that he would walk with him. The man would not let him walk with him, but he put him into a bag. Then the man brought the cat to the crosses and there were men there with dogs. He let the cat out of the bag and the dogs went after him. There was a house in the bogs and the cat ran towards the house and the dogs after him. The cat went into the house and when the dogs went in, the cat had turned into an old woman. When they bit the woman in the side she began to bleed. The dogs that bit the old woman would never do any work any more, so they had to be drowned.
