    (continued from previous page)
    Headed like a thimble tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you couldn't guess that
    A pipe
    What's full and holds more
    A pot full of potatoes when you pour water in
    Patch upon patch without any stitches riddle me that and I'll by a pair of breeches
    A head of cabbage
    What has one eye and can't see
    A needle
    What's brought to the table cut and never eaten
    A pack of cards
    What goes round the wood and round the wood and never gets into the wood
    The bark of a tree
    Where did Noah cut the tree that he built his ark with
    At the buth
    What is always behind time
    The back of a clock
