- In the famine times a man in this locality died with hunger. He was very poor and he had not anything to eat. During the night a man who lived near him put the corpse into a wheelbarrow and was bringing him to a grave to bury him. He went into a house to kindle his pipe and he left the corpse outside. When he went out he found that the pigs had thrown him out of the wheelbarrow and were eating him.
