- How many sticks go to make a mag's nest?
(None go they are all carried)I have a little horse. he has an iron throat and every time he gallops he swallows back the rope.
(A Spinning wheel)I have a little sister named peep peep peep. She would climb the waters, if they were ever So deep. She would climb the mountains. if they were ever so high. and my little sister had only one eye.
(Ans A Star.)Four sticks standers. Four belly banders. two roopers. two croopers and a wheel about.
