- I met Jack Monkson and he driving thirty six jack asses under an empty steamcoach heavily loaded with three roasted millstones, after that I met a dog barking at a cat through a stone wall and she knitting a pair of stockings. After that I took a fit of running with my two shin bones in my pocket and my head under my arm. I ran twenty miles in an hour sitting down every two to rest myself. After that I trew a blacksmiths anvill about thirty ton weight.
