- (continued from previous page)a man who used to tell big fat lies. He told a story about a good dog that he had. One evening the dog went for the cattle to the field. The calves wouldn't come so he brought the cows. He put the cows into the stable and closed the door. Then he went into where the milk was. He threw off the lid of a crock and dipped in his tail. He ran off to the field and put his tail to the calves mouths. The dog kept going on with the calves at his tail until he reached the barn.He got behind them then and drove them into the barns and closed the door.As big a liar as the Athymass man I think the other fellow was worse.
