    A wee little house a mouse would not fit in it all the girls in school would not count all the windows in it.
    A thimble.
    Its under the fire and over the fire and never touches the fire.
    A cake in an oven.
    The more you take from it the larger it gets.
    A sandpit.
    Why does a miller ware a white hat.
    To keep his head warm.
