  1. Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Sheehy.
    In his days there were very little houses. On the of a hill he had a fort. One day a few men attacked him he was killed. All his money was taken.
    One night another man searched the fort he saw a skeleton and he ran for his life.
    No one again ever went into that fort.
