    (continued from previous page)
    The old doctor was away and therefore the young doctor went to do the (business) business himself. When he went to the sick man's house he meant to do as the old doctor had done. He looked under the bed and saw a horse's saddle there. "My good man" he said "you ate a horse" When the people of the house heard that, they ordered the doctor out and set the dogs on him. When he went out every dog went after him and he was lucky enough to get safety that day.
