  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Two men went to Newman's fort one day and they started digging for treasure. After a while they saw a big flat stone. They lifted it up and a black pig came out and ran after them.
    Another day two other men went in to Leonard's fort and they heard people hurling inside, they stayed hurling until twelve oclock and then they disappeared.
