  1. One day a man heard that there was a fort in the next land in which he lived and he went to search for it and soon found it. He began to dig for gold. He was two hours digging before he could get anything.
    Then he came upon something hard and dug it out. He found it was an earthenware jug. To his delight when he opened it he found it was full of gold. A few days afterwards the man died.
