- Once upon a time there lived a husband and a wife and one day the wife sent the husband for a hundred of coal. When the husband was going for the coal the wife gave him a half crown and on his way he met a man on the road and he was sure of a winner of a race.

"Well" said he "I twas beaten half a head for the ton".
