- There was a queen one time and she got married to a rich man. The night she was married she was playing hide -and-go seek with her husband. She got into a chest and there was a spring lock on it and it could not be opened. Her husband was very worried when he could not find her anywhere at all. She could not be heard shouting because the lid was too tight. After a hundred years the chest was sold and it was opened by means of breaking the lid off and there was found the skeleton of the queen. This story is called the Mistle Toe Tradegy.
