- Once upon a time there was a man that had sheep out on the mountain, and he went to look at them one day and the fog arose and he didn't know where to go, and he was wandering about on the mountain, and he came upon a cabin, and he found out a door on it, and he went in and there was a fire lighting inside, and a big dog at one side and a man at the other side, and a crock of gold between them, and when the man was going down for the gold the dog snarled at him, and he ran out the door again and he came the next day with some of his friends, but there was no sign of the cabin or anything there.
