  1. When a hen is after laying she goes off saying.
    "I- lay - an - egg - every-day, and - I - go - barefoot."
    The pigeons used to make their nests on the ground, and the cows used to come along and walk on the nests. At last one pigeon thought of making her nest in a tree. So all the pigeons make their nests in trees. When the pigeons see now a cow go past, they look down and say. "Come Noo, Coo -Coo - Coo!".
    Once a man killed one pigeon and the other was lonely and said.
    "Take - two - o -o. Take - two - o -o"
    When the cock crows he says. "I am far better than you."
