    One time a tramp was asked by a man to come and sow plants for him. He came and sowed a great many of them with the roots overground. When the farmer came out he was going to kill the tramp but the tramp said, "I planted them that way so that the goats would not eat them and I was with another farmer and I planted them with the roots in the soil and the goats ate them all and the farmer scolded me", So I did not know which way to plant them
