“In a fountain crystal clear...”
Mary Joseph Dunne, Rahugh, Kilbeggan. Mrs. Ann Dunne, same address.In a fountain crystal clear
A golden apple does appear.
No doors are there in this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
Ans- An egg.Matthew Dunne, Mountrath, Kilbeggan.
John Whelehan, same address.I have a good goose and she goes a good price;
The person that buys her needs to be wise;
She has feet in her belly and walks on her nose;
She goes far away and seldom comes home.
Ans- a ship.John Carey, Sonnah, Kilbeggan.
Andrew Carey, same address.A flock of white sheep on a red hill.
Here they go and there they go
and now they stand still.
Ans- The teeth in your gums.
