“About 130 years ago a robber was living on the mounain.”
About 130 years ago, a robber was living on the mountain. He was a fairy man, he used to steal cows and if the cows had crooked horns he would straighten them. He was stealing a ow one day. The man that owned the cow followed him to the house. The robber brought the cow into the house before the man was near him. When the man saw the robber going into the house, he went in after him. But when he went in, there was no sign either of the man or cow.
