-Tommy Pritchard was going to school when he heard a voice - make it the voice of a fairy
-He thought it was over a stone wall - have a fairy be on the other side
-He climbed over the wall and picked up a stone, where he found a sixpence - I want to change this to a silver dollar
-Every day he kept looking under the rock and found a *silver dollar*
-His father began to notice that he kept having enough money to buy candy so the father assumed Tommy was stealing
-Tommy wouldn't say where he was getting the money so his father threatened to beat him
-He finally told him where he was getting them
-The next morning, he only found a cockle-shell under the rock
