They’re all gone out,

All but little dogs twain,

Fastened with a chain:

Their chains they do gnaw,

And say “Wau, wau, wau.”

“Very good,” said I. “Many thanks. Have you any gaade (riddles)?”

Upon which, the old lady immediately repeated this:—

Sister sent to sister her’n,

Southwards over the sea,

With its bottom out, a silver churn,
