  1. Some people are supposed to be able to make pishogues. One day a man named Michael Conway was out ploughing. After a short time working he found some meat and bread nicely buttered. He said nothing until the night came. At about twelve o'clock he got up and prepared his gun.
    Then he went to his garden where he saw a hare. He shot her in the leg and put her into a coop, where he left her for nine days without food.]On the tenth day he let her go and the moment she came out of the coop she was changed into a woman.
