    Often on the table.
    Cut and never eaten.
    Ans. Cards
    I have a little white, round house,
    And it is full of meat
    It has no doors or windows
    To let me in to eat.
    Ans. An egg.
    I have a sister.
    She sits by the ditch
    You should never go near her.
    For she'd give you the itch.
    Ans. A nettle
    Ink, ank, under bank,
    Ten drawing four.
    Ans. A woman milking a cow.
