    A. The bull drank it.
    Q. Where is the bull?
    A. The butcher killed him.
    Q. Where is the butcher.
    A. He went up there, and down there, looking for my share and your share and anyone that will talk, laugh, or cough from this until to-morrow morning will get ten pinches in the forehead or twenty strokes on the back.
    Then everyone tries to keep from laughing, talking or coughing. They then make faces at each other and at last someone bursts out laughing and receives the punishment mentioned above.
