    Ans: - The bark of a tree
    Alive at both ends and dead in the middle
    Ans: - A man ploughing
    What is it that sees others but cannot see itself?
    Ans: - A mirror
    As round as a apple
    As plump as a ball
    Can climb the church
    Over steeple and all.
    Ans: - The sun
    How many feet have forty sheep, a shepherd and his dog?
    Ans: - Two feet
    How many cows' tails
    would reach to the sky?
    Ans: - One if it was long enough
