Excerpt: ... "How came you to think you'd find shoes in a jug?" "Why Mama said so. I asked her for some new shoes and she said they had gone into the black jug, and that lots of other things had gone into it, too-coats and hats, and bread and meat and things-and I thought if I broke it I'd find them all, and there ain't a thing in it-and Mama never said what wasn't so before-and I thought 'twould be so-sure."
