A Story
“One day when the Mailboat was passing the Mount near the village of Cheekpoint.”
A Story
This story happened many years ago.
One day when the Mailboat was passing the Mount near the village of Cheekpoint. There was a girl passenger on her and the girl saw a funeral going up the road through the village of Checkpoint and she called the Captain and second mate and told them about it and she asked them did they see it and they said that didn't see it and she said she even saw the people after it, and a few minutes afterwards the girl died and it is said that it was her own funeral.
- I heard most of the following riddles from my aunt.
Where was moses when the light went out.
In the dark.
Three parts of a cross.
And a circle complete.
Two semi circles,
And have them to meet,
Right angle,
Triangle,
Put that on two feet.(continues on next page) - Collector
