ROLLING CALF

IF YOU ARE A BUTCHER, WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL BECOME A ROLLING CALF
A ROLLING CALF IS A GHOST WHO IS MOST DREADED AND
CRUEL. IT HAS EYES LIKE FIRE. IF YOU MEET ONE ON THE ROAD RUN FOR
YOUR LIFE AND MAKE A KATHA, THEN SIT ON IT BUT DON'T FALL ASLEEP.
IF YOU FALL ASLEEP THE ROLLING CALF WILL KILL AND DISFIGURE YOU AS IF
YOU WERE BORN WITH THE DISFIGUREMENT.

Submitter comment: THE SPELLING OF ROLLING CALF MAY BE WRONG.
I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE WORD "KATHA" IN ANY DICTIONARY. THE
SPELLING WHICH WAS GIVEN TO ME WAS SAID TO BE CORRECT. A "KATHA" IS A
WAD OF CLOTH WHICH IS PLACED ON THE HEAD WHEN CARRYING OBJECTS ON
IT.
