   One time a man was looking for work. He went to a farmer's house and as the farmer had some potatoes to dig he employed him. He brought him out to the field, gave him a spade and showed him what to do. After a short time digging he got tired and turning round to the farmer said ''Ah, O the Devil with this let whoever hid them look for them.''
