A man who lives in a beautiful garden is tired of his friends and neighbors intruding. He builds a brick wall, then a fortress, and finally a small castle. When he has finally closed himself in, he is completely alone. The children, whom he banished from his garden, make a window and then a door in the wall. The man is then able to come out into the world again.--Duana Fullwiley, 12-94.; PFA 1608-01-5303. D0004; PFA 1608-01-5303.
