- (continued from previous page)a boot
There is a little man out in the yard and if you go near him his nose will bleed
A pump
What is like a cats tail
A kittens
What dries and wets at the one time
A towel
As round as an apple
As deep as a cup
And all the kings horses
Wouldnt draw it up
What are the three things
that never can be found
A boot for the foot of
the mountain. a towel to
wipe the face of the earth
and a sheet to cover the bed of the ocean
If a man got sixpence for walking a mile, what would he get for walking thirty miles.
Sour feet
