  2. The Wonderful Potatoes

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a poor man went out to dig his dinner of potatoes. When he went into the little field he noticed that there was no clay at all on the potatoes. He took up some but they would not fit into the bucket they were such a size; so he had to go for a rope to carry them home. When he brought them home they would not fit in any pot so he had to hang them on a rope over the fire. His sons came in to their dinner. They all had enough in one potato. The poor man had potatoes enough the full year round.
