    and a stone in his belly, riddle me that, and I'll give you a penny.
    Ans A haw
    8 As round as an apple, as flat as a pan, one side a woman and the other a man.
    Ans A penny
    9 It's white and it's black and it hops on the road like a hailstone.
    Ans A magpie.
    10 Round the house, and round the house, and stands at the back door
    Ans A twig.
