    I went up a hill of wonder I came down like a clap of thunder when I saw 24 blackbirds tearing up the earth. Ans A harrow
    Under the fire and over the fire and never touches the fire Ans A loaf of bread baking in an oven.
    Eight arms no hand a wooden leg that cannot stand often wet that cannot feel no boots but shod with steel. A dress of silk a belt around the middle now can you guess silly riddle
    Ans an umbrella
