- One day there was a woman and her son travelling along the road and the woman said she would lie down to rest. She told the boy not to let anything harm her so the woman slept. The boy was around the road, and he had a stick.
After a while a fly came flying round and rested on his mother's nose. The boy hit his mother's nose and broke her nose.

- Once upon a time there was a man going home from rambling. It was about one o'clock at night.
He saw a man and a lot of cats. The man that saw them was riding a bicycle and no matter how quickly he went the man and cats kept up to him for a good piece.
