  1. An Old Fort

    Share Share Post
    There is a Fort in Stagmount which was used by the Danes long ago. Many people tried to enter into this fort but they got afraid they could not return. Once two boys made up a plan to get in. One held a reel of thread at the mouth of the fort. The other holding the thread in his head went it. He went on until he came to this big room. There were several small tables and chairs in it. A man appeared to him and told him to return. He did so and ever since nobody tried to enter the fort.
