“There was once a man who was going on a journey. He saw a house by the side of the road.”
(continued from previous page)The traveller walked out and he saw a fire in a field. He ran towards the fire and as he did so he saw two men coming into the field carrying a man who seemed to be dying.
One held the dying man by his hands and the other man by his feet.
One of them gave the dying man to the traveller. The traveller let off the man and ran back to the house and he told the story to the old man.
