- I heard a funny story about three years ago and I did not forget it. It is about two men who began to fight on their way home from a town. One man who had to pass a bridge on his way home heard a noise saying to him "Where are you going" to go for a week to you." "Well" said the man it is not to one you are coming you are coming to your own. Then he began to rattle a tin which he held tobacco in. There was a lot of fish in the river under the bridge. Just as he began to make noise a host of big fish jumped up all round him and pulled him down into the river and he was never heard of again.
