I heard this story from one of my uncles who was a brave man instead of a  chicken like me!

The story is....

One late evening my uncle was getting back from his elder sister's house. His sister lived in a  village and he (my uncle) lived and did a job as a school teacher in a big city. But, during that time he was spending his winter vacation in their village farm house.

That day the weather was good, my uncle's farm house was situated 5 km far away from his sister's house. and, he decided to get back by walking.

Then, he was on the half way. There were ripe paddies in the paddy-fields besides the path. He was walking in a medium pace. Suddenly, he felt something unusual  and saw the ripe paddies started moving back and forth against  the strong wind! He got surprised thinking where this wind came from in a wink? He decided to walk fast.

Now, It was almost dark...he got closer to his farm house then he saw a small cat just a few feet ahead on his way. He stopped walking to observe it and, to his great surprise he saw it was getting bigger and finally became a very big unusual cat! It was so big that if he would go through the way, he had to go/pass under its feet. He took decision in no minute, he changed his way and started running through the paddy-field and finally reached at home!

 Later, he told us, most probably it was something unearthly creature! And, told us if we ever find/see such a thing/creature we should not try to cross it without observing(whether it is normal or not), and it is better to shoo if it goes away, no problem but if not, change your direction!
