saw many fowls there. He said, "I would like to live here." The Fowl said, "All right; but have you a mother?" He replied, "Yes, I have." "Well, you must kill her first." He went and killed her; but he could never find the place again.
Then another Fowl went to him and said, "Do you want potatoes?" He said, "Yes." So they went to the Fowl's garden. It was all stones and the potatoes were growing out of the stones. He said, "What is this? Why is there no ground in this garden ?" The Fowl said, "It is all right." He said, "No, I have never seen this. I am afraid of your potatoes."
The Fowl said, "All right, you are a fool."
