- A Funny StoryA long time ago there was a man who was very fond of going out at night playing cards and he would meet three other companions. The house where they played was far in, in a field. One night when they were coming home the gate was opened and just as they were facing it a big black dog came a long growling at them and they got afraid of their life. They ran back to the house again. Then they came and brought a lamp and this time when they came to the gate a big turkey came gobbling very loudly and flew at them and put out the light. They ran but they never reached the house. They fell into a pond and were almost dead in the morning when they were found.
