- "Lucky Cobbler"There was a cobbler once upon a time, he got run out of wax. He went to a neighbour for a loan of a bit across the fields. He got the wax and had it in his hand What arose from a bunch of ferns but a hare,
He had nothing but the wax to throw at it but the wax to throw at it. He struck the hare with it, and it stuck to the animals forehead.
The cobbler went home saying to himself, how unfortunate I was to throw it at all, As he drew near home, he was startled to see two hares stuck together with the wax between them.
He caught them, and had two hares, and wax going home.
