    the night to put him out.
    And when he went in it appeared like an elephant. He went to put him out but did not succeed. He went home and brought his son with him. They brought two sticks and began beating the animal. He began kicking and jumping and at length he fell to the ground. Next day they could see nothing but his shin on the ground. Two nights later there was a knock at the door.
    The man of the house was called but did not answer. After a while he answered and a voice spoke outside the door. It said that if he did not open the door he would get the same beating as he gave the pookha a few nights ago.
