  1. Long ago in the olden times when seats were scarce in country houses there was an old man and woman living in a little house by a river side and they kept a big bogdeal in the corner for sitting on and one night it made a big fall of rain and when the old people opened the door in the morning they saw a big bogdeal coming down the river and the bogdeal in the corner asked who is that calling and then it said, I know that is Morgan looking for me and he rolled out of the house and down the river after the other one and he never returned.
