  1. There was a fort in Tivonacree on the farm of T (?) One day he started to cut the fort. When he was coming home for his dinner he noticed that the house was coloured red. He took no notice of this and he cut away at the fort. He had a black foal and he let it out to graze. Next day when he saw it, it was all coloured white. It remained white until it died.
