    As round as an apple as deep as a cup and all the men in Derry would not lift it up?
    A well.
    Under the coals and over the coals and never touches the the coals?
    A cake on a pan.
    What is full and can hold more?
    A pot of potatoes, it can still hold the water when full of potatoes.
    A bridge on a lake without stick or stone.
    A sheet of ice.
