He feared that this sorcerer derived all his uncanny knowledge from demons, and Taffy, being rather much of a sinner, feared these very much. Meanwhile, his new acquaintance kept on persuading him. Finally Taffy yielded and the two went on together to Wales. HE FEARED THAT THIS SORCERER DERIVED ALL HIS UNCANNY KNOWLEDGE FROM DEMONS AND TAFFY BEING RATHER MUCH OF A SINNER FEARED THESE VERY MUCH MEANWHILE HIS NEW ACQUAINTANCE KEPT ON PERSUADING HIM FINALLY TAFFY YIELDED AND THE TWO WENT ON TOGETHER TO WALES
a while, the stranger came up to him and asked him where he came from. Now Taffy was not very refined in his manners, and he thought it none of the fellow's business. He was very surly and made reply in a gruff voice. "I come from my own country." The stranger did not get angry, but in a polite tone made answer: "Don't be offended at my question. Tell me where you cut that hazel stick, and I'll make it to your advantage, if you will take my advice." Even yet Taffy was gruff and suspicious. "What business is it of yours, where I cut my hazel stick?" he answered. "Well it may matter a good deal to you, if you will tell me. For, if you remember the place, and can lead me to it, I'll make you a rich man, for near that spot lies a great treasure." Taffy was not much of a thinker, apart from matters concerning cattle, and his brain worked slowly! He was sorely puzzled. Here was a wizard, who could make him rich, and he did so love to jingle gold in his pockets. But then he was superstitious. NTLY NOT AT HIM BUT AT HIS STICK AFTER A WHILE THE STRANGER CAME UP TO HIM AND ASKED HIM WHERE HE CAME FROM NOW TAFFY WAS NOT VERY REFINED IN HIS MANNERS AND HE THOUGHT IT NONE OF THE FELLOW'S BUSINESS HE WAS VERY SURLY AND MADE REPLY IN A GRUFF VOICE I COME FROM MY OWN COUNTRY THE STRANGER DID NOT GET ANGRY BUT IN A POLITE TONE MADE ANSWER DON'T BE OFFENDED AT MY QUESTION TELL ME WHERE YOU CUT THAT HAZEL STICK AND I'LL MAKE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE IF YOU WILL TAKE MY ADVICE EVEN YET TAFFY WAS GRUFF AND SUSPICIOUS WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS WHERE I CUT MY HAZEL STICK HE ANSWERED WELL IT MAY MATTER A GOOD DEAL TO YOU IF YOU WILL TELL ME FOR IF YOU REMEMBER THE PLACE AND CAN LEAD ME TO IT I'LL MAKE YOU A RICH MAN FOR NEAR THAT SPOT LIES A GREAT TREASURE TAFFY WAS NOT MUCH OF A THINKER APART FROM MATTERS CONCERNING CATTLE AND HIS BRAIN WORKED SLOWLY HE WAS SORELY PUZZLED HERE WAS A WIZARD WHO COULD MAKE HIM RICH AND HE DID SO LOVE TO JINGLE GOLD IN HIS POCKETS BUT THEN HE WAS SUPERSTITIOUS
