    There is a field near my own house. It is called the orchard. This field is a two acre field. Long ago this was a big orchard. It was planted bu a man named Tom Kirby who owned all the place around the orchard.
    This orchard was well fenced all round by a big ditch and that ditch is there all the time. When the apples were ripe he hired two men to mind the orchard. These men had a gun each. They used to be out all night minding the orchard. These men were paid according to the amount of apples the orchard would yield.
