- There was once a man and he was out of work. He went out in search of work. He had not gone far when he saw about seven men working in a grinding mill. The ganger was not there but the men told him that he was sure of getting work if he was doing something when the ganger comes back. He started twisting the wheel and when the ganger came back he would not set him on So he said, "I am not going to be working for nothing" and he twisted the wheel back again.
