- Headed like a timble tail like a rat you may guess for ever but you wouldn't guess me that.
A pipe
What's full and hold's more.
A pot full of potatoes when you pour water in.
What is the three things that cannot be got in this world. A shoe for the foot of the mountain a towel to wipe the face of the earth and a sheet for the bed of the ocean. A flock of white sheep on a rd hill here they go there they go and how they stand still. Your teeth. If a man gets sixpence for walking thirty miles what will he get for walking a hundred miles Answer sore feet.
What goes round the room and round the room and never touches a bit of the room. The air.
What is the strongest day of the week. Sunday because all the rest is week days.
