In old times there was straw used instead of a mattress in a bed, when a person died the straw was taken out and burned in front of the house. This was to give the signal that a person was dead in the house. The neighbourhood people would gather and there would be drinking, singing and telling stories and mobbing and telling riddles. One of the riddles they used to have was
