- Riddles
long legs and crooked thighs small head and no eye : A tongs
what has ears and cannot hear ? a pot.
what has teeth and cannot eat ? a comb
what has four legs and one foot ? a bed
he that made it never wore it, he that wore it never saw it ; A coffin
the more you take out of it the bigger it gets; A hole in the ground.
the longer it lights the smaller it gets; A candle
what has an eye and cannot see ? a needle.
