- There is a field and in the field there is a house and in this house there is a table and in the table there is a drawer and in the drawer there is a cup and in the cup there is a sup and every man shall taste it?
Death.Big-bellied mother and three little children all the same colour?
A pot on three legs.A jumper of hedges a clipper of thorns a little brown cow with a pair of leather horns?
A hare.In the corner it lies, fire in its heart, and a cork in its eye?
A bottle of whiskey.Hink hank on the bank ten drawing four?
A person milking a cow.I threw it up as white as snow and it came down as yellow as gold?
An egg.Twenty sheep went out a gap one shepherd and his dog how many feet?
Two.
