  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One night some people gave lodging to a certain man. The man had a long beard
    During the night he saw a side of meat hung on the roof and he said
    "I will have you off in the morning"
    The people of the house thought it was his beard he meant but when they got up in the morning the man was gone and he had the meat with him.
