- (continued from previous page)around the wood and around the wood and never goes into the wood? The bark of a tree, What is full and can hold more? A pot of potatoes when it is full it can hold water? What goes from house to house and lies outside at night? A path. What goes up when the rain comes down? An umberella. A basket of crumbles a cake of bread riddle me that and I will give you a penny? The moon and the stars. Why does a cow look over the fence? Because she can not look under it. Round as an apple plump as a ball over the market house steeple and all? The moon. What grows in the wood and sounds in the town and earns its master many a crown? A fiddle. As I went up Tara hill Tara hill was shaking four and twenty blackbirds tearing up the acre? A harrow. What goes round the house and round the house and a harrow after it? A hen and a flock of chickens.
