- There was a very rich man not very far from this town called Captain Napper. He had a very large estate and was after building a big castle. He was always boasting about this castle but what troubled him most was - he had a very big nose. One day he wrote a thing on a postcard and stuck it on the gate of the castle. A tramp man was coming along the road and stopped to read the sign. This is what he read: "See what men and money can do." Then the (the) tramp put his hand into his pocket and took out a pencil and wrote under - "All the men and money from thus Nass wouldn't put a nice nose on Nappers face.
