- There was a woman there long ago and she was expecting visitors.
She bought a piece of bacon a month before the visitors came.
The visitors sent her a letter telling he that they were coming on the following Tuesday. The woman made great preparations for the visitors.
The visitors came and she put down the meat and the all sat around the table to partake of the meal. The woman took up the meat and divided it among them. The first one that tasted the meat said it tasted very bad
She took another piece of meat and she saw the head of a mouse in it. Then they examined it closely and they found that there was a litter of mice in the piece of meat.- Collector
