    Once upon a time there lived a old man and a woman in a little cottage in Farrmorgan.

    (continued from previous page)
    a crown under the bed-clothes and she was surprised. She asked her husband was it he that put it there and he said "No".
    The next morning she go up and dressed the bed and she found another half a crown rolled up in a note. She read in the note "This is what you get for your cleanness" and every morning from that day out until she died she got a half-a-crown.
