    he invited the man to his house as he was having a party. The man went and set the bottle on the table. He then said "into it and out of it", and out jumped two men who beat the Lord Mayor and his party so much that he offered two hundred pounds to the man but to take the bottle away. He took the money and went home to his wife and was as rich as the Lord Mayor for the rest of his life.
