Tale 62 — The red-robed apparition in the mountains
A hunter, meaning to spend the night in the mountains, encircled a great tree with a protective rope and slept. A large being in the form of a monk, its red robes flapping, came to cover the treetops. When he fired his gun it flew away, but he met with the same strange thing three times, and each time he vowed to give up hunting, yet he remained a hunter all his life.
