Many times, when we talked in the garden or sat by a fire in the evening, he told me strange stories of his life and adventures.

One night I woke up and heard a soft noise. I thought that someone was standing outside my bedroom. I got out of bed and said, "who is there?"

He was sleeping in his bed, with fire and smoke all around him. Even the bed was on fire!
