“There was a man one time...”
There was a man one time and his name was Franey the robber. People called him a robber because he stole a lot of money. All the money he stole was gold. Many people followed him but could not catch him. The people searched for it but could not find it. Where they thought he hid it they searched but could not find it. When they were tired searching they stopped. In a very short time Franey died, and some people found him dying. When they came to him, he told them that he was dying. They asked him where was all the gold he stole. He said, he hid a pan of gold, opposite where the sun sets, and he told them, he left a very big flag over it. He died and no one was sorry after him.
