    Two legs sat upon three legs
    With one leg in his lap
    In comes four legs
    And runs away with one leg
    Up jumps two legs
    Catches up three legs
    And makes him bring back one leg.
    Ans. two legs a man
    Ans. three legs a stool
    Ans. four legs a dog.
    Over the water
    Under the water
    And never touches the water
    Ans. a duck carrying an egg
    What is the weight of the moon
    Ans. 4 quarters
