   Another Milking Story

   My grandmother told me the following story.
   Below Enniscorthy lived a woman who used to turn herself into a hare, and used to suck the milk from the cows which belonged to the neighbouring farmers.
   All the milk used to be gone on the people of the neighbourhood.
   One night my Great-grandfather stayed to watch in the cow-house.
   About mid-night a hare came along and began milking one of the cows with its paws into its mouth. He had two hounds beside him and he set them on the hare. The hare started off for the woman's little cottage. Just as it was jumping into one of the windows, one of the hounds seized it by the hip and bit it. My G-grandfather then went into the house and saw the old woman with a piece out of her hip.
   This is how they found her out.
