   One morning two men went out with dogs to look after their sheep. When going through a gap they saw a hare milking a cow. The dogs of course started after the hare & it started to run & it ran away until it came to a thatched house. One of the hounds just caught it as it went in & took a piece out of it. The two men went in but there was no one there but an old woman in the bed & she bleeding.
