    you cry”,
    Said the King “I had a gander
    That was left me by my mother
    And this morning he has cocked his heels
    With some disease or other”

    “Is it crying for the gander
    You silly old goose
    Dry up your tears and cry no more
    For you no it is no use
    If you think so much about the bird
    I will make him well and sound
    If you give to me the bit of land
    That the gander will fly around.”
