“Once upon a time there lived a hedge school master and he was very fond of the game "Hounds and hares".”
Once about a time there lived a hedge-school-master and he was very fond of the game "Hounds and hares". All the boys except one were the hares and that one was the house. One day there was a great race and when the hound came home he was very tired. His parents and all the neighbors joined and followed him and in the end he turned himself into a black pig. He then ran much swifter till he came to a river where a girl was washing clothes. She hit the pig with a beetle and killed him. Calry is known as the valley of the black pig.- Collector
