- (continued from previous page)There was a shepherd minding sheep in a field and he heard the old fool burying all the misers. The man for whom was rounding the sheep was a miser and he told him what he had seen. The farmer-miser got up out of bed and ran away with his money. He passed the old fool going home after burying the murdered men. The old fool thought it was third man after getting up out of the grave so he ran after him and killed him. When he went back to the robbers he told them that he had killed a man so they got afraid and ran away and the old fool got all their money.John Leacy.
