Owen Roe and the Usurer
One day Owen Roe came to a usurer and asked what he would do with money he found.
The usurer asked him if he had his breakfast. Owen said he could not partake of it as he was in a troubled state of mind.
The usurer gave him a good breakfast and when he had finished he gave him a pound note. Owen Roe was very thankful and he asked the usurer the question he came to solve as he prepared to depart.
Oh! said the usurer, "bring it to me." "Thank you very much," said Owen, I know now what to do with money when I find it.
