- There was a man out late one night and as he was coming along a bend of the road something heavy jumped up on his back. He look around to see what was on his back. It looked like a skinned calf and its eyes were coming out its head. When the man came to a sandpit the animal came off his back and disappeared into the sandpit. The man had a habit of cursing and he never cursed or was out late again at night after that.
