    Riddle Riddle Ri such a riddle could not be ; through a rock, through a reel, through an old spinning wheel, through a basin full of pepper, through an old cow's leather, through a horse's (a) shin bone, Riddle me that and I will let you alone.
    Answer - lightning
    As I was going to the fair of Athy (I met)
    I met nine tinkers and their wives.
    Each tinker had a bag.
    In every bad there was a cat, and

    many went to the fair of Athy.
