    An Old Story (continued)
    up the cat and the hound and went into the old house after them. When they went in they saw an old hag with blood running from her foot. They asked her did she see any cat and she said herself was the cat. And then she said to the man it was a good job for him because he had no longer to live only for the shoemaker and the black hound.
