    In the olden times the soldiers used to go through this passage in order to escape the enemy. One day my grandmother told me that she climbed the castle and when she was nearly to the top of it she saw a quaint little room. She forced her way into it and as soon as she entered a stone moved on the wall. She went over to it and found a small box with something rusty inside in it.
