    There was a big Abbey in Canon Island ...

    There was a big Abbey in Canon Island. It was belonged to a woman. One day her cows went into the Abbey. The woman went into it to milk her cows. The room was full of gold. She put a spancil on the door. So as that when she would come back she would know where to find the gold. Then she went looking for help but when she came back there was a spancil on every door and could not find the gold.
