- A captain of a ship once called a little Irish boy and said showing himi a rope:-
''I will give you fifty shillings if you will show me three ends to that rope''. That is easily earned money said the little Irishman.
He caught one end of the rope. This is one end said he. He caught the other end and said this is the other end. He then tied a piece of coal to the middle of the rope and flung it into the sea saying and that is THE end.
The captain handed him the fifty shillings.
