    Folklore.
    There is a fort near our house ,it is situated on the top of a high hill ,and there is a wall around it.
    I heard my father say ,that in olden times men used be working near it,they sat by the side of it ,and they had no tobacco.
    One of them said i wish we had a smoke when they looked down at the ground again there was a fine piece of tobacco at their feet and they had a fine smoke.
