  2. I was told this story by Mark Brown. He was told this story by his father. One time, there was a boy called James McGoan. He was jumping over a rope. His two legs caught in the rope and he fell. He hit his head against a stone and split it open.There were people watching him and they took him to the doctor. The doctor sent him to the hospital but he died on the way there.
