  1. I heard a true story about a man not far from our house. He got a new cottage built behind ours. He told a story which he said was a true one. He said he dreamt that he should go to a hill near him and under a small bush which he should get a small can with fivehundred pounds in it. He dreamt it three nights and the third night he dreamt that if he went he would loose one of his children.
    It would the youngest one that would die. The fourth night he dreamt that his sister should go and no one would die. When he woke up the fourth night his sister said that she would go. His child was sick and his wife got up and took care of the child. The fifth night all was very quiet and a woman came in and made the child better.
