    A four-legged heifer
    With two leather horns?
    A. A hare.
    Q. As I went out on yonder gap
    I met a man with a red cap,
    A stick in his hand
    A stone in his belly,
    Riddle me that and I'll give you a berry?
    A. A haw
    Q. What is the difference between an elephant and a flea?
    A. An elephant can have a flea but a flea can't have an elephant.
