One night a man was coming home from a gamble.

One night a man was coming home from a gamble. It was late in the night. He was walking along the road towards home and he heard steps after him. He stopped and looked behind him and could not hear or see anything. He walked on and heard the steps again. When he came to the cross roads a man jumped over his head. Then he heard pigs screeching in the fields. When he came home he looked into the pigs' house and the pigs were there.
