  1. One time there was a man who was very fond of card playing. This night he was coming home and he saw a man sitting at a table playing cards. The man at the table asked the passer by to go in to play. When they were dealing out the cards some fell on the floor. The man stooped to lift them. He then saw that the other man had cow's feet. At length he lifted his head but there was no man there.
