ali-bo-babem

At midnight, the priest Ali-bo-babem was called out of his bed, and found at the door, desiring to be married, the crabbed old bachelor and the cross old maid. These two did not live long, but all the rest of the people were very happy for many years. About three o'clock of the morning after the great wedding-day, the Giant Tur-il-i-ra arrived at his castle gate.
