  1. There was once a small boy going down the road and the road was very slippery because there was frost the night before.
    His mother was sick and he was going for the doctor. A big dog ran after him. He went to pick up a stone to throw it at the dog but he could not pick it up because it was stuck to the ground.
    He ran away from the dog saying "this is an awful road the stones are all tied and dog's are all loose".
