‘Sam has fallen in the well.

‘What?’ she cries ‘Sam in the well, go tell your father’ so he does.

‘Father, Sam has fallen in the well,’

‘O dear’ says his dad, ‘we had best get the gardener to get the ladder and get Sam out of the well’, so they did and Sam was very happy and a bit wet.

Sam rushed to his mother and said ‘Mummy, Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the well!’
