    (continued from previous page)
    When the men would see the children running after him they would set the pack of hounds after him. The next day he turned himself into a hare and the men dashed from behind the wall and set the hounds after him.
    The hare ran on till it came to a lake when he turned himself into a black pig and vanished into the water.
    Ever after that the place where he ran was called the valley of the black pig.
