   sign of a hare inside, only an old woman sitting in a corner spinning. There were drops of blood on the floor near her. The boy went out and told the priest what he saw. "Go back" said the priest, "and look at her leg".
   The boy went back into the house and looked at the old woman's leg, and if he did he saw the sign of the dog's teeth on it.

   There was a priest in Inis Chéin long ago, seventy or eighty years ago, and he had a few cows. They couldn't make any butter no matter how they tried. Someone told the boy that the butter was carrying from them, and that whoever was taking it should come to milk the cows. He went and told the priest his story.
