  2. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was returning home from playing cards and he had a terrier with him. The dog was of a very kind, but when kissed on to fight he was very vicious and would attack anything or anybody.
    When he came to a lonely spot on the road a black Persian cat appeared on the road and walked on before him. He hissed the dog at it but the dog would not interfere with it. The cat walked on until it came to a nook in the ditch where a beggarman was supposed to be buried, where it disappeared.
    The dog let a few short growls when it was gone and began to play about as usual.
