    A Story
    In a field near our house there is a fort about which a strange story is told. One day the owner of the fort sent one of his men to cut the bushes on it.
    The man did as he was told. He got a slashers and went up to cut the bushes. He had them all nearly cut at five oclock. He was just cutting the last bush when the slashers slipped and cut off three of his fingers.
