    Once upon a time there was a man in the asylum. One day he got a halfpenny and he put it in a hole in the wall, another day he got a penny and he said I will take you out and put in this one. Another day he got a shilling and he said I will put you in and took out this one. Another day he got a sovereign and he said I will put you in and take this one out. When it was a few weeks in he said Oh I will take you poor thing out for I think you over the jandies.
