Yep boy was his son--

on the riddle below -- no trick and was only one possible answer-- which was one person going to St Ives-- all other info is irrelevant as he met them-inferring they were going away from St Ives.

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with 7 wives
Every wife had 7 sacks
Every sack had 7 cats
Every Cat had 7 kittens
Kittens-cats-sacks and wives
How many were going to St ives.

Yeh, but they could have been travelling slower or faster than him.he could have met them that way. Cute, but you have to buy the inference to make the riddle work.
