  1. (no title) (continued)

    This woman also told a strange tale of an orchard they owned at the same farm.

    (continued from previous page)
    nightfall came, they followed the threads - there were no apples to be found.
    A young man who came into the garden one night, saw a shape like a wool pack rolling towards him and promptly fainted.
    He was a man of the world too, having been all over South America.
