  1. One day a wee woman went into The Piper Hughes' house and asked for a bit of bacon. The people of the house said that they had no bacon but they had plenty. The wee woman went out but going out the door she turned and said "you will have plenty of bacon before night" That night when the Hughes went to feed the pigs they went out to the pig [cran] and found the three pigs dead.
