- (continued from previous page)A chimney full, a room full
Still you couldn't catch a spoon full?
Smoke. - Riddle mo riddle mo nuaisgin. How many potatoes would it take to make a nuaisgin?
As many as you would have butter for.I went to the wood and I got it. I sat down to look for it and I could not get it and I had to bring it home with me?
A thorn.Long leg legless went to my door footless and said "Madam keep in your hens for I'm not afraid of your dog?"
A wormRound the wood and round the wood and covers the wood?
The bark of a tree.- Collector
