- (4) Once upon a time there was a woman who said she would go into the graveyard and get a skull. There was a grave being dug at the time, so there were plenty of skulls.
She went into the graveyard and picked up a skull. There was a man hiding at the back of a tree. He shouted "That's my skull". So she left it down and picked up another skull. The man shouted again. "That's my skull". She answered. "You are a liar, for no man had ever two skulls!"
