  1. Once upon a time there were two men going along the road leading to a grave-yard. They began to cut a tree. When they had it half-cut a voice spoke up from under the tree and this is what it said "For God's sake do not cut down our shelter."
    Then the two men dropped their tools and ran as fast as they could and did not go near the tree from that out.
