to London, on London bridge he would
meet man who would bring him good
news, and being unable to get this
dream out Of his mind, he presently
be.yook himself to London, and all day
lor.g walked to and fro ON London

tho meaning Of it, ari the honest ped
dler told him his dream.

taken account of dreams might have
seemed as much fool as you; for
only the other night dreamed that in

Ns.folk, there lives peddler named
John Chapman who has tree in his
back yard, under which is buried a

The peddler humbly acknowledged
tho folly of such behavior and forth

no time in digging under the tree in
his back yard. and in very truth found

keeper Lad dreamed of, whereby he
lived in plenty the rest Of his days
