    (continued from previous page)
    It has as many windows as the Lord Mayor's house?
    A thimble.
    What is it that is too short and you cut a piece off it to make it longer?
    A grave.
    A little wood, a little wire, a little house without a fire?
    A Cage.
    As round as an apple, as plump as a ball, can climb the church over, steeple and all.
    The Sun.
    What has a tongue and can't talk? A Boot.
    Round the house and round the house, and drags a harrow after?
    A hen and a cluch of chickens.
