    A leaper of fences, a tripper of thorns, a little brown cow without any horns.
    A hare.
    Four sticks standing, four bellybanders, two loops, two crooks and a whip.
    A cow.
    It's red and it's blue and it's marble green, the king cannot touch it nor neither the queen.
    A rainbow.
    When I was in London I saw some great wonder the dead carrying the live.
    A motor-car carrying a person.
