Late one day he came suddenly in to a large clearing where once a native village had stood.

The little village stood on a crossroads with a few houses and a church.

Sometimes people leave a house or a village to stand empty, and move somewhere else.

The village stood exactly as it had been, completely intact.

There will be nothing but ashes to mark where this village once stood.

The village stood on the west bank of the water course.

"If any lesson has been learned, it is the fact that the village does stand a good chance of losing the museum."

One minute the village had stood, and the next it was gone.

It is possible that the village once stood in this area.

The village stands on a hill approximately 360 feet above sea level.
