    Once upon a time a man was hunting in Coombaun. He started a hare and the hound followed him. The man could not keep up to them and man heard the dog howling very loudly. The man ran to get up to them but he could not do so. At last the man got up to them and he saw a woman and a piece out of her side and she crying. It was the dog who took the piece out of her and she was the hare that the man started.
