    man was coming home from town and he went to this place to sleep.
    After a while he saw a small white mouse going into a hole. He followed it in by a larger passage and caught it. It began to squeal so he left it go. He had one sixpence left. He spent this sixpence and he had another sixpence and everytime he spent one sixpence he had another left so he was rich ever after.
