| Summary: | niche In the late 19th century many NFLD fishermen had so little formal education that they were unable to count up to ten. In these days if they were counting tubs of fish, bars of fish, corks for traps, grapnels, rinds, etc. they had a special way to do it. It was done in the form of a rhyme. It went something like this:- One and one are two, Two and two are four, And two is a couple more. This one and that one And two more is a niche.
