    As I went up the steeple, I met three christian people, they were neither men, women or children what were they?
    A man, a woman, and a child.
    Round the house and round the house and sleeps in the corner at night.
    A sweeping broom.
    What turns without moving?
    Milk.
    What has no wings that can fly.
    Dust.
    What is the lightest thing you could have in your pocket?
    A hole.
    As large as an apple and as deep as a cup and all the men in town couldn't take it up.
    A well.
