  1. ii One time three brothers called the Briney Ma Shones. they were very poor and they lived in a small low house. There was a small room and kitchen in the house. The room was so small that it would only hold one bed. The three brothers slept in this bed. They had no liberty and one of them could not turn unless the three turned. So when one wanted to turn he would call "Right Wheel" and the three would turn to the right. After some time if another wanted to turn he would say "Left Wheel" and so on.
