  1. Little Eileen had been out with her parents in the field where they were cutting corn. Notising a man and woman gathering blackberries. She asked who it was. Her father replied that they were Dan King and his wife.
    Next year she was in the same field gathering potatoes and asked her grand father what crop was in this field last year. He said there was corn in the field.
    "Oh", she replied, "Don't you remember when we were cutting it, the King and Queen were out gathering blackberries?"
