(15[1])After drinking large quantities of milk, one of these creatures with “big goggle eyes” (15[1])grew large enough to wrap itself around a hill seven times. (-5[1])A family was cursed for nine generations after a man killed one of these creatures (-5[1])but then failed to kill his father, (-5[1])who was the first being he saw afterwards. A man named John caught one of these creatures while skipping church to go fishing and threw it down a (*) well.
