  1. Strange Animals - The Black Pig

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was walking down the bank of the river and he saw a black pig and the pig began to follow him. Then he started to run. After a while he gave a look back and the pig had disappeared, but he kept on running until he came to the wall. Then he saw the pig again and he got a terrible fright and he turned around and ran home and he was never out late after. Then he told his companions and the night after they went down.
