- Once upon a time a man had a dream. He dreamt he went into a house. There was a woman there, and she asked him would he like a drop of whiskey. He said he would be very thankful for it, and if it would not be too much trouble for her to put down the kettle and make a drop of punch.
She said: - "Indeed I will my poor man". While the kettle was boiling the man awoke, and he was very sorry he did not take the whisky wholesale.
