    Riddle me riddle me Auntie O my father gave me some seeds to sow, the seeds were black and the ground was white, riddle me that against Saturday night.
    A seed loaf.
    A little red heifer lying by the wall eats all it gets and drinks none at all.
    A fire.
    Black and white and read all over.
    A newspaper.
    Little red biddy with a little red nose the longer she lives the shorter she growa.
    A Candle.
