  1. (continued from previous page)
    wish on the penny. So he took the penny from his pocket for only his legs were tied and wish they were back at their father's home again. And in the next minute himself and his two brothers found themselves asleep in a barn with the donkey at their father's house. Then they went into the house and told their father all their adventures. That they wished for money and cows and pigs and everything they would want. And they lives happy ever after with the penny.
