    What's full and hold more,
    Ans A pot full of potateos when you pour water in,
    One half dead ; and the other half living,
    And a tail wagging
    Ans A dog with its head in a pot
    Headed like a thimble,
    Tailed like a rat,
    you may guess for ever
    But you couldn't guess that,
    Ans A pipe,
    Patch upon patch, without any stiches,
    Riddle me that, and I'll buy
    you a pair of Breeches,
    Ans A cabbage
