  1. The more you take out of it the bigger it gets. A grave.
    What is it that always walks with its head down. A nail in a man's bot.
    Patch upon patch without any stitches. A head of cabbage.
    Middy-noddy round body three feed and a wooden hat. A pot.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. Riddle me riddle me what is that, over head and under the hat?
    The hair of your head.
    A bridge upon a lake without stick nor stone.
    Ice upon a lake.
