TALL TALES
THE SAD GOLD
RUSH DAYS
By Shannon HIII
It was the year of 1865 in late
June when there was a sudden
gold rush. Everyone in town
had a million dollars worth of
gold. Then suddenly a stranger
came to town and stole.all the
gold he could find and he put it
on an open fire and then it
turned to gold. So when "the
people saw this, they started to
spread news around that the
gold wasn't valuable.
