Keno smiled, paid off, and piled
the supply along with his other

The boys returned three times,
each time carrying a new supply
of empty bottles. Finally they
stopped and Keno went out in

he had bought. He counted and
counted and the more he counted
the more frantic he became. He
had the same number he started
with!
The boys had slyly taken load
from his supply in back, brought
them around to the front and sold
