  1. Once a man was going to a publichouse and he saw a man milking a cow in a field through which he was passing. He went to the place where he saw the man but before he reached the place he had turned himself into a cat. It is not known what happened the man that was going to the publichouse and it is not known what happened to the man that was milking the cow. The man that was milking the cow was a spirit.
