When he came back a few months later and said that he had 39 all the pigs, the villagers were still more surprised, but some of them agreed to go with him 40 he asked for help in bringing the pigs out. They wanted to see whether he was telling 41 .
They soon discovered 42 he was. All the pigs were inside the enclosure(围栏) which had a fence round it and a 43 in one of its sides.
