  1. (continued from previous page)
    were eleven of them out hunting and one got lost. To prove this he began to count & forgot to count himself again. The stranger saw where they were making the mistake so he asked them what they would give him if he restored the missing one. They said they would give all they had. The stranger began to count and when he came to the last one he said "Here is the missing one" They were all delighted and gave him all they had & he went on his way laughing.
