- What would make more noise at a gate than a pig?
Two pigs.What is like half the moon?
The other half.When was beef the highest?
When the cow jumped over the moon.I have a little cow by the side of the wall
She eats all she gets but drinks none at all.

He travels all on the top of his head?
A nail in your boot.Little Jenny with a red nose
The longer she lives the shorter it grows?
A lighted candle.As round as a marble, as flat as a pan
The half of a woman, the whole of a man?
An English penny.Twenty sick sheep went out a gap
One of them perished, how many came back?
Nineteen.Why does a hen pick the pot?(continues on next page)
