    Mr Mc Cully was in a house one night. The people of the house had a book which they read. This man got a loan of it, and put it in his pocket. The night was calm as he started for home, but when he came to a hill the wind began to toss him about through the field. (He then thought of the book)
    He then thought of the book, so he took it out of his pocket and threw it over the hedge. Then the night got calm again.
