  1. (no title) (continued)

    Long ago there was an old man and he was going with the good people, and any one never heard him singing or whistling during the day and every night he would not go to bed until the middle of the night.

    (continued from previous page)
    night he would not go to bed until the middle of the night. One night his wife was very sick and the man was inside at home. He heard something noising out side. He went to the door and was talking to the good people that was out side and the man told them that his wife was sick and that he had a young family and not to carry his wife. The man said to his wife that there is a man going to die the next week. His wife was laughing at him and the next week the man died and every one that would die the man could foretell it.
