    great reward was to be given to anyone who would be able to give him a cure. So this man bought the wand off the old woman and her son Johnny for twenty pounds. The next day the man set off to cure the King with the majic wand. When he reached the palace he told his business and he was admitted. He went to where the King was and he hit him with the stick on the forehead and killed him. The he was taken out and shot, and Johnny had the cow and the money.
