100 years oldA Story
In the top of a hill named barr an bágle There is an old forth. One night a man was going across the forth When a voice shouted "What is your name" and when he landed at home he got sick and died after about a moth. When the man died his brother looked out and dazzeled with a light and could not talk nor see until morning. The same man was looking at a forth one day and fell asleep with his head upon a stone on top of a small knob which still remains and the print of his head is still in the stone. That stone was there for about six six yeasrs but cannot be seen now. This story is about 100 years old
