- There was a mason there long ago who had one son. He sent him to town one day with a sheep's skin and told him to get the skin and the value of the skin. The son took it away and everyone was asking him what he wanted for it. He said he wanted the skin and the value of it.
This girl came on and she asked him how much he wanted for the skin so he told her. She plucked the wool off the skin and she gave him the value of it.
