3 Prepare yourself for a difficult job!
    I will ask you some questions and you must answer them.

4 Were you with me when I made the world?
    If you think you are so clever,
    tell me all about it!
5 It was me who decided the size of the world.
    You surely must know that!
    I measured it as I made it.
