He swears he'll never kiss through a window again.Riddles
“What's the hottest things that grows”
What's the hottest things that grows - A Nettle.There is a little thing in Diamonds land. It teaches many but little it understands. It is not in Italy but it is in Rome. Amsterdam enjoys it but Holland wants it. It is in every mountain but it is not in any hill. - MRound the house and round the house dragging her puddings after her.
A hen and her chickensWhat has many eyes and never cries - A potato.Why is an aeroplane like a policeman
Because it takes people up.- Collector
