Hank, hank under the bank. Ten drawing four!
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.
