  1. Reggle, reggle, rea through a rock through a real through a baisin full of snow. The snow began to melt like a soldier without a belt. The belt began to conquer like a ship without an anchor. The ship began to sail like a bird without a tail. The bird began to fly like a needle in the sky. The sky began to fall like a roll and canan ball. Through a rock through a real through a new spinning wheel through a basin full of pepper and a horse's back bone and such a riddle was never told before.
    Thunder.
