- Once upon a time a man and woman lived in a house together. The man used to stay out very late every night and the woman used to be very angry with him.
One night when he came in it was very late and his wife said it was four o'clock and the man said it was not that it is only one o'clock. Both of them were arguing for awhile when the woman asked how do you ^ When I was coming up the road says the man I heard the clock striking four times and it surely did not make a mistake every time.
