“There was a small woman and a small man living in a small house...”
(continued from previous page)and when she was taking off the cover of the pot (bastable), the cake flew up the chimney. As it went along it met a man ploughing. he said, Where are you going and the cake said: I am a cake. I'm going from a wee wee woman and a wee wee man, and I'll go from you too if I can. The cake went on and it met a fisherman. The fisherman said to the cake "Where are you going".
The cake said: I'm going from a wee wee woman and a wee wee man.
And I'm going from a ploughman
And I'll go from you too if I can
And with that cake made away.
