    This is Pal's wife.
    Pal just left the room scratching his head uncontrollably.
    The kids and I are very worried about him.

    I tried those answers but the guy who asked me it says that they aren't right. He gave me a hint saying that it's a line from a very old poem; but then he also started singing Queen's Radio Gaa-Gaa.

    I hope Pal gets better!

    ARRRRRRGH!!!!! .... if it helps, he gave another clue today: He kept mentioning getting '40 winks' (i.e. sleep) and also said that a 'Goo Goo' can be any size up to 10 foot tall.

    I think he's pulling my leg to be honest.
