So when it was time for them to be coming back Delaney looked out and saw them all standing at the gap. They went down to them and they told them they were afraid to open the gap. She got into a temper and reached for one of the bushes,so she was landed from one side to the other side. So he went home and the men opened it after a time and brought home the corn.
