    As round as an apple, as flat as a pan, half of a woman and half of a man.
    A penny.
    Under the water and over the water and never touches the water.
    The sun.
    What is the last thing you take off going to bed?
    Your feet off the ground.
    What bow can never be untied?
    A rainbow.
    Pieces and patches without any stitches if you tell me that I will give you my breeches.
    A head of cabbage.
