    Tubber. A man named Jame Gormally is a great story teller. His brother was dreaming three nights in succession that there was gold hidden at the back of the house and that he was to walk on a bridge in London for three days and three nights. At the, and old man and woman came up to him and asked him what he was looking for. He told them hat he was told in a dream that if he walked there he would get gold at the back of his house. When he went home, he dug for the gold. When he went down in the ground he came to a door. A man met him at the door. The man told him to go home and he would never do any good.
