    Another day Tarara and some other man was coming from the town. The man bought a new pipe. When the man was coming home he gave Tarara the pipe to take a smoke. Tarara smoked a while he was handing back the pipe and the other man asked him why he was not smoking longer and Tarara said he was not long after the fever and the man said he did not want the fever and that he would not take back the pipe. So Tarara got the pipe.
    Another day there were huntsmen hunting round Tararas house. The huntsmen asked Tarara was that a good bottom in front of the house. Tarara said it was. The huntsmen on the horses jumped into the bottom and they sunk. Then they said to Tarara I thought you told me that was a good bottom. Tarara replied it is but it is a long journey to it.
