Beschrijving
Numskulls Unable to Count their own Number. Numskulls go swimming and then want to find out if everyone is back. The fools cannot get the right result because whoever counts forgets to count himself. They conclude that one of them is drowned [J2031]. A stranger who finds the numskulls in distress tells them to stick their noses in the sand (loam) and to count the holes [J2031.1]. So they confirm that everyone is still alive.
