    a thimble tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you could not guess that.
    A pipe.
    What is it that walks about all day with its head down.
    A nail in your boot.
    Patch upon patch without any stitches riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of britches.
    A cabbage.
    Bought by the yard and worn by the foot.
    A stocking.
