- Q What goes away between two woods and comes back between two rivers.
A A man with two pails of waterQ. Riddle me right where I lay last night through a rock through a reel through an old spinning wheel through a bag of pepper through an old shin bone.
A MothQ Rings on her fingers bells on her toes, touch her in the middle and off she goes
A A gunQ What goes through the the wood and through the wood and never touches the wood
A A knife in a man's pocketQ What stands outside the wood and eats inside the wood
A A pig eating out of a trough
