- Q. What goes from house to house and stays out all night?
A. A Road.Q. Riddle me, riddle me, Auntie O,
My father gave me some seeds to sow.
The seeds began to grow,
Like a pot of boiling snow.
The snow began to melt.
Like a man who lost his health.
The man began to fall,
Like a sparrow against a wall.
The sparrow began to fly,
Like an eagle through the sky.
The sky began to rattle,
Like twenty men in battle.
A. Thunder.
