  1. Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife. Every night they used to go playing music to some house in the village. The two of them would sit together in the house. The man was deaf any every time he would stop playing the wife would strike him. They used to go home about ten o clock. The village people would be home with them and they used to be asking the man to play for them. When he would be parting them he would play for them.
