“A man was minding a sow and bons at twelve o'clock one night...”
A man was minding a sow and bons at twelve o'clock one night, not far away from our house. He went into the house for a cup of tea and while he was drinking his tea he thought he heard a strange sow grunting. When he went out, his own sow and bons were dead. He saw a strange white sow beside them. He only caught the one glimpse of her, because there and then she disappeared, and where she went he never knew.
No-body about the place had a sow, and all the people said it must have been a fairy sow.
