   One bright night a man was out cutting oats. It was about an hour of night. The man had the sheaves left down and a while after he began to tie them. The first one he took a black cat ran out from under it. Every sheaf he took up after that a black cat ran out. People say it is not right to be out late at night working. After that the man was never out late at night cutting oats.
