    Share Share Post
    A child goes near the wall and pretends to be a Ghost. There is a knife in her hand, and some sand near her. The other children line up, and go to the well to wash their hands, and they say,
    "What do you want the sand for".
    The Ghost says "To edge my knife".
    "What do you want your knife for."
