  1. Not many years ago a man and his wife lived alone in a house. They had a daughter that was married. She was some distance from them. She got sick. The woman went to mind her. All the lambs they had died. When the woman was gone the man patched his clothes with their skins and every one that saw him didn't know what he was.
