- (66:29) "3 black dogs and 1 says, 'The Pry Mincers dead'..."
This is an inverted version of an English folk tale, "The King of the Cats," in which a bemused wanderer starts to tell his host how he witnessed a royal funeral procession of cats in the night; he's interrupted by the host's cat, who shrieks "What? Then I'm the king of the cats!" and flies up the chimney.
