- One night two girls went to a shop.
When they were coming home a man had a sheet wrapped around him. The girls were near home when the white thing started following them. The two girls did not wait to open the gate but leaped across it. - One night a man went into his next door neighbour pretending he was a Civic Guard. He asked the man did he know had anyone about a gun. The old man started telling about the other man that pretended to be a Civic Guard having one. Then the Guard asked him had he nice apples and the old man said that he would have only for the long tinker of a next door neighbour.
