  1. A Religious Story

    Share Share Post
    Some time ago thee lived in this district a man who was very fond of hunting. He kept dogs and he was out every day on the hills hunting, especially on Sundays and holidays, he always neglected Mass. He went off to hunt on the Fifteenth of August, and he didn't hear Mass. He wasn't long hunting when he came on a hare and the dogs went after her. They caught her after a short run, and the man ran to take her from the dogs and she changed into a woman. The man went home and got sick and died in a short time afterwards.
