- (continued from previous page)What is green first red then and black then
A blackberry
What walks with its head down
A Stud
What is the only pain we never bear
A pane of glass
What is the smallest bridge in the world
The bridge of our nose
Who is the smallest man in the world
A Barber
Did you ever see a pig between two loaves of bread
A sandwich
What is the loudest thing in the world
A candle because it wakes the dead
Something you often catch but never see
A passing remark
I can see it and you can't see it and it is nearer to you than tis to me
The back of your head
Ink ank under the bank two drawing four.
A field of red cows and one white one
Your tongue between your teeth
As round as an apple as flat as a pan the head of a woman and all of a man
A penny
Long legs crooked thighs a small head and no eyes(continues on next page)
