  1. One day a group of men were (workinh), working in a field making hay when they came on a nest of weasles. The men had a can of water which they used for drinking.
    The old weasel thinking that the men were going to kill the young went and spat into the can so as to harm the men.
    But the men did not touch the nest so the old weasels went over to the can and leaped up on the side of the can and turned it overe so as it wouuld not harm the men.
