A Story
“There was a man in Bookeen one time and he found a gold cup.”
There was a man in Bookeen one time and he found a gold cup. No matter how much he would take out of the cup it would never empty. One day a beggar man came along and asked the man for a little money. The man said he could not help him. I know the cup is full sir" said the beggar man but the next man who finds it will never turn a beggar man from his door". Then he walked away and the cup that was in the man's pocket followed him. The man followed the cup but the beggar man and the cup disappeared in a hill not far from his house.
