- Once upon a time a man was bringing home turf with his ass and párdógs. A little dog came to him and sat up behind on the ass and told the man he would bring home plenty turf to him. The man went home and told his wife and she was wondered. The man went to the bog again and filled the load for the dog. The dog sat up behind on the ass and went home and the father threw the load. In that way he brought home a fine stack of turf for the man.
