- A man was going on a journey one night. He went a short-cut through a mountain. On his way he saw a crowd of "Good people". They followed and followed him until they got up to him and then began beating and beating him until they almost beat him to death. After a long time they let him go. The man went home and went to bed. He never got up out of bed.
