There once lived A wealthy farmer who owned more land than anyone else in THE country. He hoarded ... silver in chests and ... drawers, besides earning interest as A money-lender. But one thing was lacking, for he was A widower. One day A young daughter of his neighbour came to work for him. THE wealthy farmer took ... immediate liking to her. He believed that if he only hinted at ... marriage, she would jump at A chance, since her father could not afford ... dowry. So he told her he had IN mind to find himself A bride. THE girl was astonished. She could hardly hide A smile.
