  1. Once upon a time a man had to go a journey on a horseback he had a big delay and returing it got quite dark. When he was about three miles from home suddenly a man jumped upon the horse behind him. After that the horse seemed as if he was carrying a heavy load. He was wet with sweat When they came to a stream the man jumped off and he gave the other man three strokes on the leg. After that his leg swelled and three holes came in it and he was a cripple afterwards.
