  1. A blind man lived in Laragh and he had a daughter. The daughter was going to get married to a farmer. The blind man went to talk to the farmer. He asked him did any thistles or bucklins grow on his farm. The farmer said "No".
    "Well" says the blind man, "it shows that you have very bad land, because you haven't to pull a thistle or a bucklin. For that you will not get my daughter".
