    Riddles.
    There was a little house a mouse could not live in it and all the men in town could not count how many windows in it.
    A thimble.
    What has a mouth and no tongue.
    A river.
    Patches upon patches without stitches,
    A head of cabbage.

    Why are ripe potatoes in the ground like thieves.
    Because they ought to be taken up.
