This time he shoot three rabbits in the graveyard and the next morning he found three calves dead. About twelve o'clock that day a very tiny woman about one foot high and dressed in a rabbit skin appeared to him and advised him to stop killing the rabbits in the graveyard or that his cattle would continue dying until the last one was gone.
