An umbrella.22. I went up a boreen. I went down a boreen, and I carried the boreen on my back.
A ladder.23. As I went out a gap. I met a boy with a bundle of sticks, and no one but God could count them.
A head of hair.24. As I went out a slippery gap. I met my uncle Davy. He took me up, and put me in his pocket. I began to pinch him, he began to beat me. He threw me out of his pocked and left the ducks to eat me.

A bed.27. In through the wall, and out through the wall, and never touches the wall?.
