- Once upon a time there was a man who was going to shave in his room and none of his children would be let into the room where he was shaving until he would be finished. One day children were peeping in at him when he cut off his nose with the fright he dropped the razor which cut off his big toe and he stuck it where he nose should have been.
He stuck his nose where his toe should be. The next morning when he got up he discovered what he had done, and he not like to move them.
Any time he wanted to clean his nose he had to take off his boot.
