  1. There were three brothers living together and one day they were going to seek a fortune. They met a man dead on the road. They had no English but "I did", "For certain" and "For money". A guard came to them and asked them who killed the man. The first one said "I did", the second said "For money" and the third said "For certain". "For certain" said the guard and he brought the three brothers away and hanged them.
