resolved to take the bag out and drop It
into the sea, where no one but the fishes
would ever have chance to benefit by it.
But the son had sense enough to suspect
what the old man was trying to do and de.
termined to outwit him.
The old man, with the money hidden un.
der his coat, asked the son TO row MIN out
TO sea. So they started, but the son took
care TO keep only in the shallow water by
the shore.
Are we far out nowW asked the old man.
"Oh yes, father" answered the boy.
Sure there's water far about us"
So the old, blind miser, with sly smile,
dropped his bag Of money overheard, and
the son reaching out his hand had nothing
TO do but to lift It out of the shallow water
and carry 1t home under his own coat And
this old miser died peacefully in his bed,
