    What goes away between two woods and comes back between two waters.
    A man fetching water in wooden pails.
    What always walks with it head down
    A nail in your boot
    Whats full and holds more
    A pot of potatoes when you pour water it.
    headed like a timble tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you couldnt guess that.
    A pipe
    Three people standing on a high steeple they are not men women or Children
