“Once upon a time a woman was coming home from a dance and it was about three o' clock in the morning. As she [was] passing a gate she saw a big black pig.”
Once upon a time a woman was coming home from a dance and it was about three oclock in the Morning. As she saw passing a gate she saw a big black pig. The pig followed her home to her own gate. When the woman went in she fell on the floor. The people of the house carried her to bed that night. The black pig came to the window and the next morning the woman was dead. When the woman was waking the pig came into the room.
