28th January 1938
What goes away between two woods and comes home between two waters .
A man fetching water in pails.
What goes away above the ground and returns under it .
A man with sods on his head.
The king of Manchester sent to his sister a bottomless vessel to hold raw meat .Whats that ?
A ring.
Four legs a head and a foot .
A bed.
Viddy-noddy round body , three feet and a wooden hat .Whats that.
A pot.
One half dead the other half living and a tail wagging .
A dog with his head in a pot.
Patch upon patch without any stitches .Riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of breeches .
A head of cabbage.(continues on next page)- Collector
