- In a certain mountain there are bushes gowing around a lake. Always on a dark night you will see lights jumping back and over from the bushes to the mountain. Sometimes they go a good distance and come back again. People going visiting can see those lights and also people can see them from their homes. They are of different colours. The people don't wonder at them because they are used to them. They are always seen there on dark nights.
