    not go near the black pig. The man said if you hadn't to tell me to go to the black pig, I would not go near it, the man said he wasnt afraid of it and when he went to it the man and pig started to fight, and the sister heard the noise. She ran out, she couldnt see anything, she lifted three very large stones in her apron, she travelled across the lough and she couldn't see anything. When she would come to this side the noise was on the other side, and she travelled round the lough, and at last she found her brother killed, The man killed the pig and the pig killed the man.
