  1. (continued from previous page)
    wife and a thousand pounds, and I also want to leave two thousand pounds to that poor little cobbler next door. That's all right said the Atturney, and off with him. The minute he went the little cobbler jumped out and put the dead man into his bed again and laid him out and then the funeral arrangements were made. When all was over the little man got his two thousand pounds and the dead mans wife got everything else. The dead man's wife gave all her farm and money to the little cobbler and his wife and they lived happy in it ever afterwards.
