   “One day two men went out hunting with dogs.”

   One day, two men went out hunting with dogs. They were not long out until the dogs ran after a white hare. The hare was too fast for the dogs and it managed to elude them.
   The next day the men went out with guns. Again they saw the white hare and they fired several shots at it but they were not able to shoot it. Every time a shot was fired the hare turned round and looked at them.
   Then, one of the men said it was impossible to shoot it but the other said that there was only one way to kill it and that was with a piece of silver. So he put a bent threepenny bit into the cartridge.
   Soon, they saw the hare again. One of them fired the specially prepared cartridge and shot the hare in the leg. The leg was bleeding so they were able to track it by means of the trail of blood.
   The trail ended at a small cabin. When they into the cabin they saw an old woman bathing a wounded leg in a basin of hot water. When the men saw this, they left and never again bothered about white hares.
