  1. A Collection of Riddles

    (3) As round as an apple,
    As deep as a pail,
    And it never bawls out
    Till its caught by the tail
    A bell.
    (4) How is the middle of a tree compared to a dog's tail?
    They are both farthest away from the bark.
    (5) When is a door not a door?
    When it is ajar.
