- I went into the wood and I got it
I sat down to look for it and came out with it.
A thorn in your footPatch upon patch without any stitches
riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of britches.
A head of cabbage.What is it that is too short and cut a bit off it and it will be long enough.
A grave.I went into the wood for a load of timber I brought neither a crooked stick or a straight one and still I brought the load full.
I brought a load of saw dust.On yonder hill there lies a deer. He is neither fish, feather or bones. On younder hill he lies alone.
A snail.
