He the let a curse out at the dog and the dog began jumping across walls and knocking them down and running through the sheep inside in the field and causing terrible commotion. The man then came back to see were all the sheep scattered by the dog. He was much surprised when he saw that the sheep were lying down as quietly as if there had been no disturbance at all.
