Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

New England, August 3, 1732.
A very strange Creature has been lately seen among our people who have seen it and were afraid. It appeared about the size of a horse with very long tail; it met with a large Ox and ran to it and began to eat the Ox on the shoulder, which made it roar so loud that people heard it at two miles distance upon which several men went to rescue the Ox but it made for them, and they were glad to escape with their lives the Ox roaring and the Creature eating till it ate enough; they say the Ox kept on his roaring an hour and a half, and when the Creature was gone the People went to see the Ox, and were surprized to find how strangely it was eaten.
