THE TALE OF ABLE MABLE , wooden nickel

There was an Englishman, an Irishman and an American caught in a storm in the country. They spied a big old house just off the road, to which they ran for shelter. To their calls and knocks came no answer; the house seemed deserted, and it was rather spooky as well. Suddenly the door swung open of its own accord, the hinges squeaking eerily. Still, no one was to be seen.

Plucking up his courage, the Englishman crept into the hallway, and there, on a small table, lay a $10 bill. As he reached out a greedy hand to take the money, a sepulchral voice rang out, "I'm the ghost of Abel Mabel, that $10 bill must stay on the table!"

With a shriek of terror, the Englishman dashed out of the house, past his two companions and into the storm. The Scotsman looked at the American, shrugged, and crept cautiously into the hallway. He also saw the $10 bill and stretched out a hand to steal it. And again, that awful, disembodied voice rang out, "I'm the ghost of Abel Mabel, that $10 bill must stay on the table!" The Irishman, his nerve shattered, dashed out of the house, yelling with fright, out into the storm.

The American looked after him, squared his shoulders, and marched into the hallway. There lay the $10 bill, and the American also could not resist the temptation. As his hand stretched towards the bill, the strange voice rang out for a third time, "I'm the ghost of Abel Mabel, that $10 bill must stay on the table!"

To which the American replied, "I'm the descendent of Davy Crockett - that $10 bill belongs in my pocket!"
