- There is story which tells how pigs, rats and mice first came into this world. Once St. Martin was to fat and lard was taken out of him. He put his lard under a barrell, the servant girl was looking on and she stole some of the lard. She put it under a barrel for herself. In a few days she saw St. Martin lifting up the barrel and out ran a lot of pigs from under it. Then she lifted up her barrel and instead of pigs, rats and mice ran out from under it. That is how pigs, rats and mice first came into being.
