- One stormy night a man saw a house and he went into it. In one corner there was two men playing cards and he joined in, after a bit he was broke, but he played on and a card fell on the ground. When he stooped down to pick it up he saw that the men had cows feet. When he looked at their faces they disappeared, so he ran out and went his way.
