    1. A flock of white sheep on a red hill:
    Here they go,
    There they go, now they stand still.
    Answer: Teeth in your gums.
    2. Riddle me, riddle me what is that over the head and under the hat?
    Answer: The hair of the head.
    3. I see some sheep that are
    White, white, white,
    see a horn that is
    Bright, bright, bright,
    I see a field that is
    Blue, blue, blue and
    What I tell you is
    True, true, true.
