    What is it always walks with its head down?
    A nail in your boot
    Niddy-noddy, round body. Three feet and a wooden hat.
    A pot.
    Patch upon patch without any stitches. Riddle me that and. I'll buy you a pair of breeches!
    A cabbage.
    Headed like a thimble. Tail like a rat. You may guess for ever but you could not guess that.
    A pipe.
