| I’m often seen around a lot, referred to many ways, See me black and you may find misfortune haunts your days. Tell a thing, that should have been kept quiet, to all around, Then look inside the sack, there I’m no longer to be found.

| A man wanted to get into a member’s only club, so he hid and watched the guard at the door of the clubhouse. The guard said a number to each member as they approached, and the member would respond with a number of their own. If the member responded with the correct number, they were let in. If they responded incorrectly, they were thrown out. One member came up to the door, the guard said twelve, and the member responded with six and was let in. Another member came to the door, the guard said six and the member responded with three and was let in. Believing he had heard enough, the reject went up to the guard. The guard said ten, and the reject said five, but was not let in.

As the “terror of the country”, I had a reputation of cruelty and cunning. Many movies and stories of me were made. People have spoken ill of me so many times it would give your throat a lump. Now it’s time to give it a try. Do you know my name; who am I? |

| Well hello there, new friends It’s a pleasure to meet you I wonder if you’d indulge The unique way I greet you You see, I’m a player Now to make this more fair My family is royal In my more playful moods But please don’t misjudge me; If I see you in trouble I’m brave in the darkness, All right, one last clue So now that we’ve ended |
