“Long ago there was a man who had a habit of going rambling at night.”
Long ago there was a man who had a habit of going rambling at night. On his way he had to pass a fort - he heard strange music and singing every night as he passed.

They said they often passed that way but heard nothing. As he was returning home late, he heard the same music and singing.
