- There was a man who took his watch to a watchmaker. The watchmaker took all the parts out, and put them together, but but could not get one wheel in. The man said. "It is like a motor-car, may be tis a spare wheel".
People put things in front of other peoples doors in Shrove. Once people put a car belong to other people in front of their door. When the other people saw the car, they got a hatched and broke it. When they looked at it well, they saw it was their own car, for in their rage, they never noticed it.
