  1. There was once a boy and he went to his Uncle's house working for a week and at the end of the week his uncle gave him a half crown and he told him to go for a ride on the train, and he told him to get a return ticket. So the boy went to the station master and he got a return ticket. He went in to the train when he was a while in the train he asked a priest where was he going now and the priest said to hell I do not care said the boy I have a return ticket.
