Once upon a time there lived an old woman in the country. Whenever she put down a fire it would fill the house with smoke. One day she saw a fortune teller passing the road and she asked her how would she stop the house from being filled with smoke. The fortune teller told her to give her a half a crown and she would tell her. She gave her the half crown and the fortune teller said "Put down no fire and you will have no smoke." - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
