- (continued from previous page)daughter sits, and I'll be blamed for telling her name, and there's three times I have mentioned it?
And.
A little white and round house It is full of meat, but has no doors, or windows to let me in, to eat?
An egg.
I had a little sister,
They call her Peep-Peep,
She waded the waters,
So deep, deep, deep,
She climbed up the hills,
So high, high, high,
And my dear, little sister,
Has a very bright eye?
A star.

Because it is seldom opened but for money.
What have I but you have not?
My name.
