  1. Once upon a time there was a man coming home from a wedding. When he was coming at Austin M'Ging's he saw a big pig with her litter of bonhams along with the old pig inside in the field. The old pig let a few grunts then the man went away home and it is said that when ever a person meets a pig with her bonhams it is sure to be the devil.
