- (continued from previous page)The King of Manchester sent home to his sister a bottomless vessel to fill it with flesh.
A ring.As I went in a slippery gap, I met my Uncle Davie. He had timber toes and iron nose, and you maybe sure he'd frighten the crows.
A gun.Four fair ladies born in the morning, they got the fever and died in the evening.
Four candles.As round as a marble, as flat as a pan. Half a woman and all a man.
A penny.There was a little house a mouse could not live in it, and all the men of the town could not count how many windows in it.
A thimble.Fire under, fire over, and it never touches the fire.
A cake baking.Mamie Mc Carthy,
