    warm. They came upon a "weasels" nest and there were young "weasels" in it as it was in there way. They moved it carefully to another place. When the "weasel" found out that her nest was gone she got vexed and she went over to the place where the can of milk was and spat into it. After awhile she found the nest and was sorry for having spat into the on account of them doing no harm to the young ones. She did not know what to do and at last she thought of a plan. Since the people would be poisoned if they drank the milk, so she spilled the milk. The people were behind the ditch watching her.
