The girl could not stop dancing until blood ran from her shoes, and then they saw the gentleman had a horse's foot.

At a dance in Pörtom a gentleman came in and asked which girl danced best. One stepped forward, and they danced ever faster, unable to stop, just as the fiddler could not stop playing.
