    Ans A woman milking a cow
    Under water and over water and et never tips the water
    Ans A woman crossing a bridge with a pail of water on her head.
    Which part of the cow goes over the ditch first?
    Ans Her breath.
    A black bird on a black tree, he'd fight a bull and kill a bear and conquer all the birds in the air?
    Ans Hunger.
