- One night, a man who would not work was passing a fort which is in Cross. He saw a little man in the fort. He gave the little idle man something rolled up in gold paper and told him not to open it until 10 years were up and to work well during that time and work was a good plan of getting gold. The man did that and at the end of the time he had plenty of money but he thought he had gold but when he looked it was iron nuts there. So he was as poor as ever.
