Long ago, a bootmaker and his daughter lived in a small city. The bootmaker was called Walt. His daughter was Jenny. One day, Walt passed the stall of a rich merchant. “Halt!” cried the merchant. “How much for all you have?” “Ten gold pieces,” Walt said. The merchant paid Walt ten gold pieces. Then the merchant got into the cart and told Walt to get out. “Why should I get out of my cart?” asked Walt. “You agreed to sell all,” said the tricky merchant. “That includes the cart and horse. I bought it all. It’s mine. Ask the judge!” Walt found the judge and told his story. “You should be clearer,” said the judge. “I cannot help you.” Walt walked slowly home and told Jenny all.
