- (continued from previous page)Three letters spells her name backwards and forwards all the same
EveWhat is it that turns without being touched?
Milk.What should you do before coming down a stairs?
Go up.Old Mother Turtchet had but one eye
And a long tail which she let fly
And every time she goes over a ditch

Put them together in a bag tie them up with a string
If you'll tell me this riddle I'll give you a ring
