    The mother asks the Ghost,
    "What are you here for?"
    She answer,
    "For pins and needles".
    "What do you want the pins and needles for?"
    "To stitch my bag".
    "What d you want the bag for?"
    "To draw my sand".
    "What do you want the sand for?"
    "To sharpen my knife".
    "What do you want the knife for?"
    "To cut the head off you".
