“About fifty years ago every place was covered up with snow.”
About fifty years ago every place was covered up with snow. It was blown up into big heaps by the wind and houses and sheep and everything were covered by it. It is said that a man was going on some business to a town and he was walking over fields and houses and everything. He came on to one house and he did not know where he was walking and just as he was passing over the house he fell down the chimney. All in the house got a bad fright.
