- One day a tinker came to the door of an old woman who had a little boy in the house with her.
The woman said to her son:"I will hide in the room and you can tell the tinker that I am not at home." The boy went up to the door and said "My mother is not at home."
The tinker asked him where was she. The boy went up to the room door and shouted to his mother:" Where will I say you are?"
