  1. Long ago a certain boy had to pass a fort on his way to milk the cows. On his way home a can was always outside the fort ready to be filled with milk.
    One evening the farmer told him not to fill it with milk and he did not, but just as he was going in the gate he slipped on something and spilled the whole bucket of milk.
