One buckel my fong two buckel my shoe. 3 pair my knee 4 a half a score. 5 We are all alive. 6 pick up the sticks. 7 lick the plate 8 we are all in heaven. 9 a bottle of wine 10 the little red hen. 2
Riddle, riddle antie o my father gave me seeds to sow when the seed began to grow it was like a garden full of when the snow began to melt it was like a ship without a belt when the ship began to sail it was like a bird without a tale when the bird began to fly it was
like an eagle in the sky when the sky began to fall the Lord have mercy on us all.
