  1. The Weasel

    Share Share Post
    Another common animal in the district of Caherlistrane is the weasel. It's chief food is rabbits. It lives in a burrow in the ground.
    The rat.
    There is another animal like the weasel called the rat. It destroys a lot of the farmers corn when they have it in bags in the barn. On this account they hate it and they often try to do away with it by poisoning or trapping it. It lives in a hole in the wall.
