    15. White bird feathered flocked about the castle wall, out comes Lord Handless took it toothless and swallowed it tongueless.
    A fall of snow swallowed by a shower of rain.
    16. Its red and it's yellow, its parable green the King can't catch it neither can the Queen.
    Rainbow.

    The corners.
