  3. A man lived in this place, and he used to go in to a certain house. One day he went in to the house and he got tea. He drank three cups often, and as the woman of the house was going to pour out a fourth cup of tea he said "No thank you" this is not one of my eating days. A little boy was sitting near him and he said. DJ for you would have all we havae in the house eaten.
