   There was a farmer in Skule who had a dog that had grown so old that it was no further good. The farmer ordered his servant to drown the dog. His little son who was very much attached to the old dog was grieved at its fate. The servant was sorry for the little boy and so instead of drowning the dog as he was ordered he put him into the cave in Skule and closed the cave on him. The dog wandered through the cave and came out on Skule hill, three miles away.
