One morning when he got up rather early, two men appeared and led him away to the marketplace, where he saw a butcher hanging a half a pig. As they approached, the two men shoved him with all their might against a dead animal. And lo, his own flesh began to blend with the pork before him, with his conductors hurrying off in the opposite direction. By and by the butcher wanted to sell a piece of meat, and, seizing a knife, began to cut off the quantity required. At each touch of the blade, our disreputable friend experienced a severe pang, which penetrated into his very marrow. And when, at length, an old man came and haggled over the weight given him, crying out for a little bit more fat, or an extra portion of lean. Then, as the butcher sliced away the pork ounce by ounce, the pain was unindurable in the extreme. By about nine o'clock the pork was all sold, and our hero went home, whereupon his family asked him what he meant by staying in bed so late. He then narrated all that had taken place, and on making inquiries they found that the pork butcher had only just come home, besides which our friend was able to tell him every pound of meat he had sold, and every slice he had cut off. Fancy a man being put to a lingering death like this before breakfast. The end of "The Lingering Death", translated and annotated by Herbert A. Giles.
