- One night when my uncle was up late he heard a lot of noise, and he went to the window. There was a hill a bit away from the house, and he saw a large number of cars, which were making a lot of noise. There was a chaple near the place, and the cars stopped outside the chaple, and they stopped for a while, and he kept watching, and the noise kept on. Then it disappeared. He went to bed then, and he did not get up for three days after, and he never stayed up later than ten o'clock since. Riddles.
1. Thirty sheep went in a gap,

Thirty white horses on a red hill now they camp, now they stand still? Your gum, and theet.
What is black and white and red all over?(continues on next page)
