  1. (continued from previous page)
    black one did he see any travellers going round, and he said that a traveller went round the day before that. Then they asked the red one, and he said that travellers went round the day that, that field of corn was sown. The Jews looked at the corn, and they thought that was a good while ago. Then they turned from the right road and they went the wrong road. It is said that if you kill a black clock, you take a sin of your soul, and if you kill a red clock you put a sin on your soul.
