  1. One time an old man sent his son to the town for tobacco and he did not return. Days passed and years and one day a car pulled up outside and a man came out of the car and went into the house and shook hands to the old man and he said to him, "Father i'm worth thousands of pounds now" The father had a stick in his hand and he got vesced and he struck the ground with it. "He said where is my "braccy?"
