  1. Once upon a time a farmer had two sons who were good early-risers.
    One morning the father was out feeding his cattle, and found a ten-shilling not on the street.
    Picking it up in great delight he ran to his son's bedroom. He said to his sons, "If you have been up early this morning look what you would have found."
    "Well", said the son. "If that man had been in his bed he would not have lost his money."
