- (continued from previous page)trying to land on to a hedge which was near by. Stop it and you shall have your ten pounds I will give you twenty pounds Thirty pounds but oh I shall drop if I go on at this rate a minute longer. Fetch out the money said willy and if you don't look sharp I wont stop under fifty pounds. The farmer danced into the house danced out again with twenty pounds which he counted out in willys hand who at once stopped whistling Willy then went home proud of his earnings and yuo may be sure if his father and stepmother hadn't welcome for him that day. No small earnings for a lad of his age and certainly a large sum to be made on one by whistling, so you may guess if the family hadn't roast goose for dinner that christmas.
