- (continued from previous page)Some of them come in bands and are called "tinkers". Others come by themselves, and are called beggar-men, and beggar-women.
Once a man put up an old man, a woman, and a child in an old bed in the kitchen. The man noticed something strange about them. But the next morning when he got up he found them gone. But the bed was made, and the house was clean, and the press was full of butter.
From this the man knew that his visitors were no ordinary folk but Jesus Mary and Joseph.
