TALE

THERE WAS A MAN TRAVELING WITH HIS WAGON THROUGH THE WOODS,
AND TWO MEN JUMPED ON HIS WAGON. THE HORSES WERE
FRIGHTENED AND RAISED THEIR EARS, AND THE WAGON BECAME
EXTREMELY HEAVY FOR THEM TO PULL. THE MAN ATTEMPTED
TO THROW THESE TWO MEN OFF THE WAGON, BUT THEY INSISTED
TO BE DRIVEN SOMEWHERE FURTHER INTO THE WOODS. THEN, THEY
TURNED INTO DEVILS, AND THIS FRIGHTENED THE MAN; SO, HE GOT
THEM WET WITH URINE, AND THEY ABANDONED THE WAGON.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT SAID THAT THIS WAS A TALE THAT WAS TOLD OFTEN
IN HER VILLAGE. DEVILS LEAVE MAN WHO WETS THEM WITH URINE.
