  1. Once upon a time there was a man who was very fond of drink He was drunk each night when he came home. One morning he was still drunk when he was getting up. He turned the back of his pants to the front unknown to himself. He had to go up on the top of a very high house that morning. He was not long above when he fell down again. He then saw the way his pants was on. Someone asked him was he hurt but he said "no but I got a terrible twist.
