     They have great heads and ears like fans. They spread one ear under themselves at night, and wrap themselves in the other. The ears are very light and their bodies are as white as milk. And if they see or perceive anyone in those lands, they take their ears in their hands and go far and flee, so quickly one might think that they flew.
