    66. I have a little cow tied to the wall
    I give her straw and she eats it all#
    I give her wind and she flies
    I give her water and she dies
    What is it? A fire.
    67. Little Dolly Huddle sat in a puddle
    With a white gown and a green overall
    What is it? A rush.

    68. Spill black and white in three letters M-a-g (mag)
    69. Riddle me, riddle me randy
    My father gave me seeds to sow.
    The seeds were black, the ground was white. Riddle me that and I'll give you my pipe.
