    legs and can't walk and has ears and can't hear. What is it?
    A pot.
    I know a man that dies to live and lives to die, and the more he dies the better he lives.
    A Clothes dyer.
    As I was going through a field of wheat
    I picked up something good to eat
    Neither fish, flesh, feather nor bone
    And I kept it till it walked alone.
    An egg.
    Long legs short thighs
    Little head and no eyes.
    A fire tongs.
    What is it that no man wishes to have and yet don't wish to lose?
    A bald head.
