Sinopsis

Excerpt from Introduction to Modern Chinese

A few nights ago a fox of over three feet in length, and with a tail (measuring) more than four feet, rushed into the house of a certain Lin (an unemployed official) at hsi-yin-ying. Lin's family very much wondered at it and hastily called together the chair-bearers and servants. They (tried) to drive it away, but it did not go. On the contrary it rushed into a room, and crouched on a couch (a bed). The chair-bearers and servants resolved to wrap it up in a sheet, (but) the sheet was bitten to pieces by the' fox. So they quickly changed it for a cotton quilt, and this time they got it firm and tight, and killed it with a stick.
