- I went to the wood and I got it.
I sat down to look for it and I brought it home because I could not find it.
A thorn in a person's foot
As black as ink
As white as milk and it hops on the ground like hail-stones
A mag-pie
As I stood on a beech. A big ship passed by full of people. but not a single one in it
Because they were all married.
What is the shyest thing in the world
A clock: because it always keeps its hands over its face.
What flies and wears out boots
A football
Hink hank under the bank ten drawing four
A person milking a cowNovember 16th 1937
