    (continued from previous page)
    there was a big castle and there was three mounds round it. There lived a man in that field whose name was Cacal. One day he went to the fair to sell cloth. Before he had gone far he met the fair. Everybody wanted to buy from him and got a lot of money for the cloth. When he came home his wife asked him was he at the fair and when he said he was she was surprised because he was not long away. His wife asked him for the money but when he went to his pocket for it he found a heap of horse-dung.
