  1. (continued from previous page)
    he went into the fort he soon found himself among strange people playing music and dancing. He got very frightened at this and he ran away but he could not get out of the fort and after a while he found himself in a large city where he remained the whole night. When he was travelling through the fort a long time he saw down and fell asleep. When he awakened in the morning he found himself sitting on a stone beside the railway.
