""Deux hommes dorment sur ce qui était autrefois fait pour cela, des rochers formés sur le sol pour dormir, il y a longtemps. Ils ne devaient plus être utilisés. L'autre homme avait décidé d'en utiliser un et, par conséquent, il a été presque écrasé par la roche. Il y avait une grosse pierre placée juste au-dessus de sa tête de façon à tomber sur sa tête pour le tuer. Cela s'est passé pendant la nuit. J'ai oublié leurs noms. Ce n'est pas un conte, mais une histoire vraie qui s'est passée il n'y a pas si longtemps".
“Two men sleeping on what was once made for exactly just that, some rocks formed on the ground for sleeping, a long time ago. They were not to be used again. The other man had decided to use one and, as a result, he was almost squeezed and crushed by rock. There was a big rock placed just above his head so as to drop onto his head to kill him. This happened during the night. I have forgotten their names. This is not a tale, but a true story that happened not too long ago.”
