  1. There are two people living in Taghmon - brother and sister. The former is called "the Nuck" and the latter is called "Unson"
    The following verse is said about them:-
    The Nuck and Unson
    Fighting for the Crown
    And the Nuck turned Unson
    Upside down.
    The Nuck used sleep in a bag. He used get into a bag and the unson used pull it up - tie a rope around it and pull him up out of the way.
    Wan night some one came to the door and "the Nuck" says I cant let you in Unson is gone away.
