- What is it that is put on a table, cut, served, but never eaten.
A pack of cards.
What is it that goes up a spout down and won't come down a spout up.
An Umbrella.
What goes around the house all day and sleeps on its head all night.
A Brush.
What is the shyest thing in the world.
A clock because it always has its hand to its face.
Under the water and over the water but never touches the water.
An egg in a duck.
Said the child to the father how does it come that you are my father and I am not your son.
Because it was a daughter.
