- As round as an apple, as plump as a ball can climb the church over steeple and all.
The sun.What is it always walks with its head down?
A nail in your boot.What goes away between two woods and comes home between two waters?
A man fetching water in pails.What goes away above the ground and return under it?
A man with sods on his head.Middy-moddy round body, three feet and a wooden hat?
A pot.One half dead; the other half living and a tail wagging?
A dog with his head in a pot.What goes round the wood and round the wood and never gets into the wood?
The bark of a tree.- Collector
