  1. One day, when my grandfather and some workmen were blasting rocks in a field of ours called the “Sheep Park” they saw a gosling after the blast went off. They lifted it and to their surprise they found that it was a real looking animal but they could not understand how a gosling could possibly come from amidst the rock. They brought it home and shut it in a house by itself but when someone went into the house to see it they found that it had just disappeared the way it came.
