A Hungry Man Dreaming of Food [duchas:4345551]
Once a man went to England. He met with a friend. The two of them went in search of work. When the night came they parted. The night was very dark. One man was in a very lonely village. He saw a light in a camp. He went up and knocked at the door. He got no reply. He then raised the latch and walked in. He saw nobody inside. A bright fire and a newly baked currant cake. Beside the fire was a pot with a goose boiled in it ready for use. The man ate his fill and fell asleep. When he awoke he found he was lying in a ditch beside the road.
