The Pot of Gold

The Pot of Gold

Sandy and Bonny kept sheep " Too many sheep, " said Bonny. “ Not enough sheep, " said Sandy. The two of them were always arguing.

One evening, they were busy arguing when there was a tap at the door. There on the doorstep stood a little man. He wore a green hat and a ragged green coat. His green shoes had holes in the toes,

“ Can I stay here for two nights?" he asked. " Yes, " said Sandy. " No, " said Bonny. " I can pay, " said the little man. He took two gold coins out of his pocket. " Well?" he asked. " Can I stay?"

" Yes! " said Sandy and Bonny. For once they agreed about something. They took him to his room. " Good night, and good luck! " said the little man. Bonny laughed. " We never have any luck. " she said But she was wrong.

The next day, Sandy was on the hill with the sheep when he saw a big pile of stones " That's funny, " he said. " I can see something gleaming. "
