  1. The Man that Was Going for Sand

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man was going for sand for his land. On his way he met a man who was doing penance. The cart wheel fell off and he wasn't able to put it on. He asked this man to help him put it on. He wouldn't help him because he said he was doing penance. When he turned round again the wheel was on, and the man that was doing penance was gone.
