A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while; then the lass said, «A penny for your thoughts.» The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, «Well, I was thinkin’ how nice it would be if ye’d give me a wee bit of a kiss.» So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, «What arre ye thinkin’ now?» To which the lad replied:
«Well, I was hopin’ ye hadn’t forgot the penny!»
