Oliver's Three Gifts from the June Road to Fortune
Oliver Westinghouse leaves Thomaston Connecticut with three nickels and a hopeful heart in early June. He helps a grindstone old man, a mudbound peddler, and a charcoal burner, receiving a key a root amulet and a circus ticket as tokens of luck. Each encounter urges him toward Waterbury and a fortune by Saturday, while teaching generosity and faith in hard work.
