- What is it you cut a bit off to make it long
Ans A well
What was never nor will ever be put out your hand and then you'll see. Ans your fingers not the same length
What is it that I can see and you cant see and yet its nearer to you than me. Ans the back of your head
Through the woods and through the woods and their heads down. Ans nails in a man's boot
Long leg legless came to the door footless keep in your ducks for your dogs do not fear them
Ans a snail.
What has a bed and never lies in it Ans a river
As round as an apple as sharp as a lance if you were on top of it twould carry you to France
A flock of white sheep on a red hill, here they go, there they go, now they stand still.
Ans your teeth.
I have a little sister called peep peep, she goes over the sea without wetting her feet Ans a star
Riddle me, riddle me what's that over the head and under the hat. Ans the hair
What goes up when the rain comes down. Ans an umbrella.
What is it that has its finger in its eye(continues on next page)- Collector
