  1. The name of my village is Gortanumera. The way my village got its name there is a large ridge of sand going through the village of Gortanumera. Some people say that it was the Deluge that brought the sand to my village. There are only twenty-eight people in the village of Gortanumera. There are no rod chimneys in the village of Gortanumera.
    There are seven families in my village at present. There are only two old thatched houses in the village of Gortanumera. There are nearly the same number of houses in the village as the time of the famine. There is a large river boundering the village of Gortanumera.
    There are different names on this river, Newbridge River, Mill River, and the Callow River.
