    They went to the neighbours field and sucked the neighbours cows. It is said they brought the butter with them.
    One morning a man went out to look at his cattle. He saw a hare sucking a cow. He went up to it and it ran in the direction of a house. He followed it and on the threshold of the door it turned into the shape of a woman. He got afraid and ran home as he was not able to talk.
