  1. The Bag of Gold

    Share Share Post
    A long time ago there lived a man and he was in prison for three years and at last he escaped. As he was coming along the road he met a man and he found he had a bag of gold. He knocked the man down and he took the bag from him and he ran away and he hid it in the corner of an old graveyard. After a while he died and some years later people were digging a grave and they found the bag of gold.
