- One day a boy was left in charge of the house while his mother was visiting. They had two pet bonhams and the boy told his mother he would take great care of them. When evening came the boy wanting to go for a walk fed his pets but he had no place to put them.
He hung a bastible over the fire and put them into it. They were nice and cosy and the boy fearing that they would come out over the bastible put on the cover. Then he went away and when he returned he found the pets roasted in the pot.
