    A Funny Story
    There was a man in Adam's race. He had a certain dwelling place. His house was well roofed and covered over where neither a man has never been before. He was neither in heaven nor in hell nor any place a man could dwell. He was neither on the road or on the plain those that did know that man of fame tell who he is or what his name.
