  1. There was once a lad stopping in a house. In this house there was a man and a woman and they were rich. This day dinner time came and they had a piece of a bull for dinner. The boy was eating a good feed. The woman of the house told him that there would be a bull roaring in him all night, and these people kept a bull.
