  1. There was a young boy in Rathea, who is now an old man and at his house there was a party. They had byt a few knives and forks. He was sent for knives and forks across the fields to the next house. He was passing a fort in the way. He heard dancing and singing inside. He stopped to listen. When he went to go he found he had lost his way. He went up and down all night and could not find his way home. At last he sat down until it was near day and then he saw his own home quite close.
