“Damer Butler was a very rich man who lived near Emly.”
Damer Butler was a very rich man who lived near Emly.
It is said that once when he was buying firkins of butter he got firkins of gold instead. One day a tailor a tailor came to his house with a suit of clothes.
Damer asked him the price of the clothes but the tailor replied that if Damer gave him one look at the gold he would be satisfied.
Damer brought him to a room with a steel door and when he opened it he found that it was full fromt he floor to the ceiling with gold. "Now put your two hands together and take as much gold as will fit in them" said Damer.
The tailor did so as was a rich man ever after.
