- (continued from previous page)If you get upon an ass what will you get down out of.
Ans. A goose.A flock of white sheep on a red hill, here they go, there they go, now they stand still.
Ans. Teeth in your gums.A man with one eye saw plums on a tree, he did not pick plums or leave plums and how could that be.
Ans. He picked one and left one.Big belly mother, sly belly father, three little children and one rosy daughter.
Ans. A pot over the fire.Cad iad na trí airgidí is fusa d'fhághail?
Airgead phósadh, airgead tórraimh, airgead dlighe.Cad iad na trí neithe a chuaidh de Aristotle?
Saothar na mbeach, inntleacht namban, teacht agus imtheacht na dtaoide.
