- There was an old man in the district of Aughawelia and he used to ride a bicycle.
He used to always put his foot on the ditch to get on the bicycle.
There were a few boys watching him and every time he would come that way he used to go to the same place and put his foot on the ditch, they dug a hole in the ditch and put a pot full of water in the hole, and covered it with grass. The next time the man came to put his feet on the ditch to get on to the bicycle he put it in the pot full of water.- Collector
