- (continued from previous page)I went for a walk through the corn field one day I found a thing which was very nice to eat, it was neither flesh, meat feather or bone and in three weeks it could walk alone.
A hens egg.How may quarters in the moon
four.What's smells first When you go in to a chemist shop
Your nose.What part of a cow goes into the byre first
Her breath.When I went into on younder gap I saw a table and in table there was a drawer and in drawer there was a cup and the cup there was a sup and every one shall taste it
Death.
- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Two heads are better than one.
Fear to do any evil.
All is not gold that glitters.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Hills look green far away.
Many hands make light work.
Pity the blind man.
Keep to the right. K.
I love the fresh air.
Many spoons make clean dishes.
