- There lived a man a long time ago, and he had a famous hound. One day the man went out hunting down in his bog and the hound rose a hare in the heather. The hound was two or three hours after the hare and he did not catch him. About in a weeks time the man went out in feild of potatoes and in one of the ridges he remarked that he he saw the same hare as the first day. The hound was about two hours after the hare and he did not succeed in catching the hare. One day the man went to his well and he heard a voice saying go back in the field and in of the stacks of oats that there would be a hare laying one side of the stack and the hound would go after the him. When the hound would catch the hare, he would fall dead and that hare would be a witch
