- (continued from previous page)Once upon a time a man was coming home from rambling late at night. He was passing by a certain place (late at night) when he was astonished by a light coming towards him. There was a house near by, and the man thought it was the man of the house searching for something so he hid under the wall because he thought that he might frighten the other man. When the light came near him he jumped up and the moment he did so the light disappeared beneath the rock. It is said that that man never liked to be out late ever since.
