    Flower from America, fruit from Spain, all put together by a shower of rain. Put into a bag, tied with a string. Riddle me that and I will give you a gold ring?
    A plumpudding.
    Around the wood, and around the wood, and cannot get into the wood?
    The bark of a tree.
    As round as an apple, as plum as a ball can climb the church over steeple and all?
    The sun.
    Walking all day with its head turned down?
    The nail on your boot.
