THE WITCHES’ CELLAR
The Mill, Tony, and his Mother’s House
THE BOY WHO ALWAYS
SAID THE WRONG THING
ONY was a very foolish, stupid boy. One morning his mother sent him to fetch a hundredweight of flour from the mill.
Knowing how silly he was, she said to him, “Tony, you will say to yourself all the way there, a hundredweight of flour, a hundredweight of flour.”
“Very well, mother,” he replied, and, slinging a sack over his shoulder, he walked off to the mill.
