- (continued from previous page)What goes up a ladder with it's head down?
The nail in a man's boot.
What is the shyest thing in the world?
A clock.
Under the fire, and over the fire, and never tips the fire.
A cake in an over.
Spell black water in three letters.
Ink.
Why is a new born baby so much like a donkey's tail.
Because we never saw it before.
What goes up red and comes down white?
An egg.
What tree grows in your hand?
A palm tree.
How many sticks goes to build a crow's nest?
None. They are all carried.
Long legs, short thighs, little head and no eyes.
A thongs.
