- Wild Animals
The wild animals are the fox rabbet, wesel, rat, mouse, and the hair. The fox lives in borrows in the wood. The rat and wesel lives in burrows in a ditch or in a corn stack. The hair lives in furs or in long grass. The mouse lives in a corn stack. The food the fox eats are hens and lambs. The rat and the mouse lives in oats. The rabbet and the hair lives on grass sand and water. The wesel lives on rats and mice. No one of the wild animals does and good but the wesel. They foxes tongue is a cure for taking out a thorn.
