    (continued from previous page)
    passing along the street, he met a man who asked him where he was going with the pelts, or what did he want for them. The boy said that he wanted "croiceann 's a' luach." The man took him into a yard and took the wool off the pelts, and paid him for the wool and gave him the pelts. When he came home he told his father that he had "croiceann 's a' luach" and his father said he would make as clever a man as himself.
