- Once upon a time there was a drunkard and he wanted a suit of clothes because his own was very torn. One day he had two pounds and he was very thirsty.
He thought of a plan. He said that he would toss up a penny and if it came a head he would not drink it, but if it came up a harp he would drink it. So he tossed the coin and it came up a head.
