  1. A Fort

    A fort.
    There was once a fort in which a dwarf was supposed to live. Every night music was heard inside the fort. This night a man made up his mind to dig the spot where the music was heard. He got the tools and went up to the fort. Here he heard the music. Here he started to dig. As soon as he did so the music stopped. He dug away until day light. By this time he had the cave dug, and he was as wise as he was at first. On his way home he broke his leg. He never done a days good after that.
