- 5 Once Mr. Rice from Moybella Liseltin had several men digging potatoes. He had awarded a gm of Tobacco to whoever would get the biggest potato. William Diggin was among them and he took up a potato and cut it into four parts, then he got another potato and quartered it. Then he tied this potato with a piece of cord. Then he did the same with another potato. The potato was undoubtedly very big so he got the gm of Tobacco.
