  1. Many years ago a man was very fond of taking a walk late at night. One night he took a walk in a field at the back of his house. He went through the gap at the end of the garden about eleven o'clock. As he went through the gap he stood on a stray sod.
    He was walking around the field for about four hours. It was about three o'clcok in the morning when he got out. He never went into the field again at night.
