    There was a man one time...

    There was a man one time and he went to ramble every night. One night he went to ramble. His brother went to the church yard, and he put a white sheet around him. So he himself saw something and he fell dead, The brother came home and his mother told him that his brother was gone to frighten him. Then they all went to the church and they found him dead on his grand-mother's grave.
