- Once there was an old woman and she had only one boy. There was a very bad landlord and he put them out of the house. The little boy said to his mother,
"I will go out and earn some money."
His mother gave him two cakes to eat. He ate one of them. He saw a man building a wall. He asked the man for work. The man told him to come and he would give him work.
