O Alfred knows his home is about to be over-run by thieves. He has a box of money and decides to dig a hole in his field and hide it there. He plans to run away but to tell his daughter Ethel where the money is so that she can go back later and dig it up. How many pieces of information does Alfred need to give Ethel?
