The fiddler saw a man with shaggy legs dancing alone in the ring – and smashed his fiddle against the wall, never to play again.

At Lommeland there was a fiddler, Nätte-Kalle from Hogdal, who played constantly, even on holy days. On one great feast day, perhaps Christmas, he saw during the music a man with shaggy legs dancing alone in the middle of the ring. At this Nätte-Kalle smashed his fiddle against the wall so it broke to pieces, and he never played again.
