  1. Wild Animals

    Share Share Post
    The wild animals that are to be found in this district are the fox, the badger, the weasel, the hare, the rabbit, rat, mouse, and hedgehog.
    The fox lives in a cave along the hillsides or under rocks.
    He does great harm to the farmhouse. He carries off hens, ducks and chickens.
    His tongue is supposed to be good for drawing stabs.
