    in special graveyards through the country. In almost every town there is one and that spot is recognised by a mass of stones in the middle of the field.
    One time a man had a farm. In this farm there was a field in which children used to be buried. This man made up his mind one day to dig the field and when he had it dug he set a crop in it. None of the crop grew and a few months after this the man died and his house and family never had any luck with anything they went to do after this.
