- (continued from previous page)between two woods and comes home between two waters : - A man fetching water in pales : - What goes away above the ground and returns under it : - A man with sods in his head. Middy-nobody, round body. Three feet and a wooden hat : - A pot What's full and holds more : - A pot full of potatoes because you pour water in. One half dead, the other half living and a tail wagging : - A dog with his head in a pot. Headed like thimble, tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but coulden't guess that : - A pipe. Patch upon patch without any stitch riddle me that and I'll buy you a pair of britches : A cabbage. What goes round the wood and round the wood and never gets into the wood : - The Bark of the tree.
