When he went to bed that night his leg started to swell and it kept swelling until it was as big as his whole body. He could not stick the pain in his leg and he went mad with it and he died. His people had to get a big wide coffin made for him.

“Riddles me riddle me and me now...”
Riddle me riddle me and me row,
Me father gave me some seeds to grow
When the seeds began to grow,
It was like a garden full of Snow,
When the snow began to fall
It was like a bird upon the wall
When the bird began to fly
It was like a needle int he sky
When the sky began to rattle
It was like a soldier in the field of battle - Collector
