  1. There are many forts around the town. People lived in forts long ago. They had little houses in them. The little houses were not very strong. When they made a house, they made a river all round it. They piled up the sand and they made walls.
    There is a fort out in Inch in Mrs. O'Donnell's land. No one is supposed to go in there. No one is supposed to go in, and cut a tree there. The last man who cut a tree there died. It is surrounded by little bushes.
