When I was a boy in the Barony of Gilead, there were seven Fair-Days each year—Winter, Wide Earth, Sowing, Mid-Summer, Full Earth, Reaping, and Year’s End. Riddling was an important part of every Fair-Day, but it was the most important event of the Fair of Wide Earth and that of Full Earth, for the riddles told were supposed to augur well or ill for the success of the crops. — Когда я был маленьким, в феоде Гилеад каждый год проводились семь больших ярмарок, в честь Зимы, Широкой Земли, Первого Сева, Летнего Солнцестояния, Полной Земли, Завершения Жатвы и Нового года. Загадывание загадок было непременной частью каждой ярмарки, но самую важную роль они играли на праздниках Широкой и Полной Земли, потому считалось, что качество загадок напрямую влияет на урожай: чем они лучше, тем сбор больше.
