    Long ago a woman had a turkey or goose plucked. She put the liver and heart frying in the fire. When they were done, she devided them between her children "Juggy, where is my bit"? said the cat near the fire. The woman threw the whole turkey to him. She went to the field where her husband and the servant were working. They came to the house. The man got a spit and put it under the cat's chest. The cat ran out.
