    Tis white, tis black and its read all over. ¶ Ans. A newspaper.

    Tis white, Tis black and its read all over.
    Ans. A newspaper.
    Ink, ank, under bank,
    Ten drawing four.
    Ans A person milking a cow.
    I washed my hands in water,
    That never rained nor ran,
    And I dried them in a towel,
    That was never woven nor spun
    Ans: I washed them in the dew and I dried them in the sun.
    Riddle me, Riddle me, Randio,
    My father gave me some seeds to sow
    The seeds were black and the ground was white,
    And riddle me that before to night.
