  1. (continued from previous page)
    L - Where is the butcher?
    Ch. - He is gone over the sea for beans for me and you and if you laugh, talk, smile or show your white teeth. you'll get ten pulls of the latch (nose), ten pulls of the thatch (hair), and ten pulls of the two sideboards (ears).
    All the children then stand in silence and the leader waits to administer the punishment to the first who smiles, laughs, talks or shows white teeth.
