Boots Sent by Telegraph. A young man (student) asks his father to send him a new pair of boots. The father tries to send them by telegraph, and throws them over a telegraph wire. A vagrant takes the boots and leaves his old ones in their place. The father thinks that his son had received the new ones and returned his old pair [J1935.1]. Cf. Type 1291D.
In some variants, a fool (foolish woman) wants to send a package and a letter by telegraph. He hangs the package on the wire and reads the letter out loud.
