- There were three boys long ago. One of them went to school one day and learned two words. These were the words "we three." When he came home that evening the other two went out to meet him. They asked him what he had learned and he said "we three."On the next day the other boy went to school and he learned these words "For the want of money" The next day the other boy went to school and learned two words "all right." The next day they went out to earn their living.When they were away from their homes they found a dead man lying on the road. They stayed there till the guards came along. When the guards came near they said. "Who killed the man." "We three." "For what" said the guards. "For the want of money" they said. "You will all be hanged" said the guards. "All right" they said. They were brought to court and sentenced to death.
