- (continued from previous page)and under no circumstances was a traveller to come inside these. One traveller went inside and got a bad beating. When he was going out of the village he stood on a hill and shouted down:-
Aherla is a dirty spot,
It stands without a steeple
A nob of dung at every door
Aren't they naughty people.
and he also said this:-
Aherla people are very tight,
They wash their shifts every Saturday night.
They give it a rub and a scrub of a stone
And claps it up on the "yalla" backbone.- Collector
