This time he demanded the lady with the great threat if the decieved him and lest the would incur his wrath they gave him the one to suit him. She was then brought to the park and asked the question what would this park be nice for in the summer time. She looked around and looked accustomed to such surroundings and replied this park would be a beatyfull place for ladies and gentlemen in the summer time. I see said the gentleman you are the right one, arrangements were made and got married when the marriage cermony was over he asked her which would she prefer him dog at night or in the daytime. She answered saying that it would be a poor thing to be a dog at night her wish was granted and he was a dog at night and a man in the day time if she wished to have a man day and night, her wish was granted but alas was late.
