    There were very strong men long ago There backs could let them carry a big weight and they could lift any kind of heavy stones. Those men were also swift runners they could catch hares by running after them they never wanted to keep a dog for this work. Those men could travel long distances going to fairs and on many other errands. Those could also mow five acres in a day they could also tell stories dance and sing.
