  1. A Man Going to a Fair

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man was going to a fair with pigs. When he was about a mile from the house one of the pigs jumped out of the cart. The man did not know what to do. He said he would keep going and when he went about twenty yards a hare crossed the road before him. Then the man turned home with his pigs. One of them was dead when he came home.
