- One day a man went to a fair to sell pigs. He sold them early and got paid for them early also. He went away then and left the pigs in the cart. When the buyer came to take the pigs with him he found no pigs at all in the cart but a cart of "bucaillins." He watched to see the owner of the pigs and he saw him going into a house. He followed him in and saw him run under a table to hide. The buyer caught the man's leg to pull him out and as he did so the man's leg came with him. The buyer ran off because he thought that he pulled the leg out of the man but it was a witch that sold them to him.
