" The four grey oxen, t That are on the field....
Side 166 - On his return home, the young man communicated to his mother the extraordinary vision he had beheld. She advised him to take some unbaked dough or " toes'" the next time in his pocket, as there must have been some spell connected with the hardbaked bread, or " Bara eras," which prevented his catching the lady.
