  1. I have a little house, and a mouse would not fit in it. All the men in the town, Would not count all the windows in it.
    Ans A Thimble
    I went to the wood, and I got it. The more I looked for it, The liss I liked it, and I carried it home, because I could not find it.
    Ans a thorn in your foot.
    What is this, that is left in trees, that its colour is black and white.
    ans A Magpie.
    Which is the strongest day of the week
    Ans Sunday, because all the rest are weekdays.
    What is it that always has pains
    ans. A Window.
