When I was a child, elder people used to tell us tales like "dakdeer dimatoy dulki nabadye" means; long ear died and the land is in peace". we used to get scare of long ear if we stays long out side at night without our parents or some one older...they used to tell us that long ear use to steal cheeps and eat them...when we grow old we realized that long ear never existed. this tale was made of just to keep us close to our home or to scare us in order to sleep earlier at night...
