- There was once a man coming home from cardplaying. He had to pass by a lonely bridge. When he was at it a black pig came out before him and would not go until he threw his money on the road. The man threw the money on the road and the pig went away then. There was a dog standing beside the pig. Only for the dog the pig would have torn the man.
