“One day a man went into a fort nearby...”
One day a man went into a fort nearby and cut some of the bushes in it.
Before he had all the bushes cut he was thrown on top of his head out of the fort.
Then he went home and the next day he came back again but the same thing happened three times.
When he went home the third day he got sick and went to bed.
While he was in bed he saw wild cats around him and he asked for a stick to hunt them away.
They brought him a stick and about three black cats ran down the room and out the door.
