    We get a riddle and tie a string to it and stand in a house and keep one end of the riddle up and put crumbs in under it and when the bird goes in we let go the string and the riddle will fall on the bird.
    We get a turnip and take the inside out of it and make it the same as a man's face and put a candle in it and set it on the wall.
    We get a stick and a long piece of rubber and nail the two ends of the rubber to the point of the stick then get a small stick with a sharp point and pull the rubber and the stick up and let the rubber go and the stick will fly out.
