  1. Freney and the Rich Man

    Share Share Post
    One day a rich man went into the bank, and got £300 in cash. It was in the winter, and darkness was falling, and the teller in the bank remarked that the man would be robbed on the road. The man boasted that there was not a man in the country who could rob him. When he was gone the bankman went to Freney and told him to follow and rob the man. Freney on horse back intercepted the man on a lonely road, and said "Stand to, and deliver." The man refused to hand over the moeny. "I will blow your head off" said Freney pointing a gun at his head. The man then handed Freney the money.
