1085 - HENCE

FErdinand was visiting his village hall which was very noisy at the time. Just then a man came out of the room where the noise was coming from. "What is going on in there today?", he asked. "It's a class where we endue the participants with the skills for handling swords", came the reply. "What sort of swords?", Ferdinand asked. "We teach them to fence",was the reply. "How much does it cost?" "It's three pound and forty pence." Ferdinand joined the group straight away. Six weeks later he passed his first exam. At the award ceremony the instructor said "You have completed the first stage and can now go hence and take on anyone with confidence (though not necessarily with success)."
