  1. (continued from previous page)
    people advised him to go in to bed. So he undressed and went in to bed.
    Bill was certain that Tom was in bed with him. The ass took up most of the bed and said Bill "Hey Tom shove over in your own half of the bed," but there was not any stir out of the supposed Tom. At any rate he was not there long when he found out who his brother was. Next morning when he found out the trick that was played on him he was furious, so that ends the story.
