A Funny Story
“Once upon a time as a man was cutting sticks in a wood he saw a weasel and he starting teasing him.”
Once upon a time as a man was cutting sticks in a wood he saw a weasel and he starting teasing him. When he went home that night the weasel came up to him in bed. He was going up to his throat but he felt him and hunted him away. The next night he came there was milk down for his supper and the weasel spit into it three times. On the third night he came again but the man had gone to another house to escape from him.
