   The day came along and the pig & the horse were down at the end of the field. Furlong was riding the horse. The sportsman rattled the bucket and the pig came along like a shot and begob he bet the horse blind. That's a fact.

   I saw a fox wan day and she had your young ones and she training them. She had wan here and another there in a square. She'd make a drive at wan and catch him then she'd stoop down and make a drive at another, and then to another. Then she'd make wan of them do the same thing. She was showing them how to capture a hen or a goose. She used have them out there every morning like that.
