  2. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    A long time ago a man got married and soon his wife was taken by the good people but he thought she was dead. When he was coming home from a visit he had to pass through a big farm and he met his wife and she said to him "If you are sorry after me you will do just as I tell you and you will soon have me again. When you shall see me riding a grey horse you must fire a fist of yellow clay at me and I will fall off the horse. Do not stir me until I be there for day an hour and then you can take me home." The man obeyed his wife and when he went a hundred yards he saw a batch of horses and people riding them coming out a gap. He did what his wife told him and they both went home and lived very happily for a great number of years
