  1. Once upon a time a man was in bed and he had his mouth open a mouse went into his mouth and went down to his stomach, the man was in an awful way. So he went to the doctor, and told his case. The doctor said to put a piece of cheese on the pillow and put the cat beside it, and if the mouse came out the cat would catch it. So the man did as he was told. Next day the man went back to the doctor. "Well" said the doctor "what is the matter with you now". "Worse than ever" said the man "the cat is inside me now".
