Only one other version of this tale has been recorded by the Museum of Welsh Life. According to this version, told as a true account by Mary Awstin Jones, Waunfawr, Caern. (tape MWL 4364, recorded 15.viii.1974), the Welshman married a Turkish woman. They had two children, a boy and a girl. When the Welshman is told that his wife has killed her own mother and plans to eat her, he flees to Wales, bringing with him his two children. When carrying his daughter across a river, he realises that she too has her mother's nature, and he throws her into the water. The father and the boy, however, reached Brynengan, near Waunfawr. A descendant of this boy was a man called William Morgan. Mary Awstin Jones remembered seeing him once when she was about 12 years of age (1921). William Morgan would have been about 60 years old then. He 'looked exactly like a Turk'. The informant also added: 'They said that he had two little horns growing from his head'.
