- One day a farmer was looking for a boy, he met this boy one day. He asked him to work for him, he said he would if he gave him plenty of meat for his dinner. Very well said the farmer we have a young bull killed and we have plenty of beef.
When he went into the dinner, the farmer's wife had the dinner ready.
She had a big plate of turnips for the boy and a small bite of meat. When the boy had the meat eaten he was grumbling, and he asked for more meat, and the farmer's wife said go long out of that if you will eat any more the bull will be roaring inside in you. If he will said the man this not in the want of turnips.
