- I have a little man up in the field
when I pull his leg
his nose will bleed
What is it?
A pump.As I went out and came in again
I saw the living living in the dead
Five there were and six will be
Riddle de riddle answer me.
(A bird's nest in a dead man's skull with six eggs - five birds were out and one coming out).The man that made it never wore it
The man that wore it never saw it
(A coffin)If it is too short you can cut a bit off and make it longer.
What is it?
(A grave)Blink Blank under the bank
Ten pulling four
(Woman milking a cow)
