  1. A boy was once told to clean a yard by his father. His father gave him two shillings. He went and gathered a number of boys and said that he had lost a shilling. He said whoever would get the shilling could keep it. They began to try for the shilling. When they had the yard cleaned the boy put the shilling down on the yard and put his leg down on it. He said, "Oh I got it."
