And he said of pigs that had died a natural death, _he_ never ate any.

By-and-by his wife came in and asked him to go home, but he told her, "No--I won't go now." Then she said, "Come along, the children have no food." So she entreated him again and again, and he always answered "No." So she took a pig that had died a natural death, from her back and threw it on the table before all the people, and said, "Take the dead pig for a wife, and I will look after the children." {218} GUDLO XVI.
