- Once upon a time a man was going to build a new house. He got a few men to help him. As they laid the foundation a little man in a red jacket came up and said to them "I don't want you's to build here or you's will be have bad luck. Then the little man disappeared. The men started to talk and some said it was better to stop and others said it was only nonsense. They built the house and were living in it. They had ten sons and three daughters and in a month the family was all dead.
