Notes
Published in the Aunt Mary column and introduced as "written for thyra", but seems to be taken from a book called The West Australian Fairy Tale Book by Mrs C.E. Bateson.
Story about two unlucky miners who receive a visit from a mysterious boy named Luck, and when they mistakenly send him down their mine shaft, the bucket returns filled with children instead of gold. With the help of "Tent-girl", they sell the children to goldfield families, becoming wealthy and learning not to complain about bad luck.
