- (continued from previous page)What sleeps all night with its finger in its eye.
A crook.What travels very fast but never reaches the end of its journey.
The wind.What is it that is too much for one enough for two and none at all for three.
A secret.What is the four letters in the alphabet that would frighten a robber.
O I C UAs soft as silk as white as milk.
As bitter as gall a thick wall
And a brown covers one all.
A Walnut.What stands on one leg and its head in its heart.
A head of cabbage.What stirs and stirs but never moves out of the one place.(continues on next page)- Collector
