    When was beef the highest. When the cow jumped over the moon. It is as black as ink and ink it is not. It is as white as milk and milk it is not. It hops on the road like a marvel stone and a marble stone it is not. A Magpie. It is a round as an apple, as deep as a cup and all the King's horses could not draw it up. A well.
