We tire the horse, but comfort man Tell me the riddle if you can. Coals As I was going through garden gap, Who should I see but Dick Red-Cap, A stick in his hand and stone in his throat, If you'll tell me this riddle I'll give you a groat. A Cherry. As I was going o'er London Bridge, I met a cart full of fingers and thumbs. Gloves.
