“There lived an old man in a small house long ago.”
(continued from previous page)One night as he was going home from town he was met by a man with no head. The very moment he came up to him he asked him to know where was he going at that hour of the night without his head or was he mad. The moment he said this the man disappeared off the road. The man went home and went to bed, so when his people got up the next morning he was dead in the bed.
