  1. Ever so many years ago a man met a beautiful lade in a corner and she was busy combing her hair. The comb which she had was very nice.
    The man asked her for her comb and without a word she handed the comb. He took the comb and thanked her for it. Yet she never spoke.
    When the man went home he was very (sorry) tired and went to bed.
    That night the bean-side came asking for her comb. The man got up and lowered the window and giving the comb when she took off part of his hand.
