Riddles
Down in the meadow sits and stands ten feet and a pair of hands lugs six and livers three what a creature can it be ?
A woman milking a cow and a calf standing beside the cow.
Where did Noah strike the first nail ?
On the head.
What is the shyest thing in the world ?
A clock because it always holds its hands on its face.
What is it that has four legs and only one foot ? A bed
A leaper of ditches a clipper of thorns, a little brown cow
with two leather horns ? A hare.
Take two from one and leave one ?
Take two lambs from a ewe.
Black and white and hops on the ground like hailstones ?
