    One other day a flag stone moved out of it's place, and as there was nobody there he lifted it himself.
    Then all the people started talking about how strong Thomas was, and they told every body, that he had lifted a cast and it full of corn, and a flag stone about five hundred weight. The people never stopped talking about his strength.
