  1. One morning a woman was going to a Mission. Another woman was to go with her but it was too early and the woman did not go with her. She had to pass a fort on her way to the Mission. As she was passing the fort she heard the voice saying, "Lads let ye pelt". Another voice said "let her pass by".
    A man cut down some trees in a fort. That night when he went to bed he dreamt that if he didn't put back the trees he would not have a day's luck. Next morning he put back the trees and after that they were growing again and the man did not interfere with them any more.
