- Story of Ramblers
Several years ago three men were coming across a mountain from rambling at about 12 o'clock. Suddenly a light shone before them. They followed the light, for about an hour and then found they were going astray as the country seemed very strange to them.
After awhile they sat down on the side of the mountain and turned their coats. The light remained before them, but the men never stirred until day break. Then the cocks crew, the light disappeared and the men continued their journey home.
