    There was a poor widow woman and she had a pig ready for the market. The man who lived next door stole the pig on her.
    When he went to confession he told the priest that he stole a pig from a poor widow woman.
    The priest said that was a sin for him, and he said: "Dont you know the last day will come, and that you will be there, and the (I) widow woman, and the pig". The man said if that was the case she could have the pig on the last day.
