   In the summary of the folk-tale given on page 151 there occurs the "run":

   Where the winds never blew,

   And the cocks never crew,

   And the print of man's foot was never seen.

   
   One of the boys brought me, in an absolutely disjointed and bald form, the following "verse" as he called it and which is apparently a variation of the "run" above:

   Where the winds never blew

   And the cocks never crew

   And Simple Harry never blew his horn

   The following, of which I have left the fourth line incomplete as being coarse, was the preliminary and the accompaniment to a mock threshing jocosely given to a lad who was stretched in a proper manner across his father's knees.

Boys enjoyed this merry form of correction until some practical joker played the joke "in earnest"

   You are my son, you have no crace,

   You have transgressed before my face,

   And for the act that you have done

   I'll take revenge upon...

   bulla-hulla, bulla-hulla, bulla-hulla....
