Jeems earned his toilsome living at Oak

Once upon time-that is is to say a few

shot a squirrel, which fell dead at the foot
of a great oak tree. About to bag his

kicked around in the bushes and found
a few more such coins. Being compare

not word to any one else of his finding.
With much forethought, he marked the
