- There was in this locality a work man who worked with a farmer. The farmer was a terrible miser, and did not like giving the work man a good dinner, so he bought herrings and cooked one for dinner. They both sat down to eat the one herring. The first thing the workman did was to cut a potato in two halves and put it on the herring's eye. The old farmer asked him why did he do that, and he answered "I thought it would be disgraceful to have the poor lad watching two of us attack him".
