Pigs eating put of a trough.
Put tick to stick and make stick stand to scour my feather and leather my hole put teeth in my hack and let me go home.
To mend a spinning wheel.
A white bird flew down wingless,
and lit on yon castle wall.
Lord Chandless came down handless
And says, "You'll have a fall"!
Snow thawing with the sun.
What grows in the wood and sounds in the town and earns for his master many a pound?
A Fiddle.

An old woman raking the fire.
As black as ink, as white as milk and hops on the road like hail - stones
A Magpie.(continues on next page)
