- (continued from previous page)This is called the thoras. A man one time had the fixing of this road. There was a big flag in front of the well but the man did not touch it. Then another man had the same road. One day he got a crowd of men to lift the flag for him. They left it on the side of the road. That night the man took cramps and died. Then the men went back and left it in its own place again
