  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    There was a man living in Shraheen named John Cusack. One day he was out minding cows on the side of a hill. He saw a little man running along. John walked a few steps and he saw a can of gold in a lump of heath. He put a straw rope round the lump of heath. He ran into the house to tell them about the gold. When they came out there was a straw rope round every lump of heath that was on the hill.
