  1. Once upon a time there was a tree near a corner. A man dreamt for three nights that if he went for the money the birds would light on the (?).
    He got a spade and a shovel and he began digging. He head chains rattling.
    He looked round him and he could see nothing. He heard a moan of a bull and he rose over his head.
    He dropped what he had and ran, and every where he would run the bull would follow him.
