- Many years ago there was an old house and in it lived a poor old man and woman and a few children. These people were poor and one day an old woman came in and asked for a tin of meal.
The old woman had very little in her in still she went and gave it all to the woman. Then this old woman returned again in a few weeks with the meal and put it in the bin. From that day onward their bin was never empty and the old woman was never seen or heard of again. These poor people prospered for a while but now there is not a trace of one of their family.
