11 years, School child.
Told by mother.Why does a cow look over the ditch (Because she cannot look under).It is here, it is there, it is everywhere. It is in the castle garden. It takes a bit as big as a horse, and never swallows it after. (Scythe). - Bridie Barrett,

Ardagh.13 years. School girl.Told by mother.What goes up when the rain come down. (Umbrella).
What turns without ever moving. (Milk).
What goes all round the house and stops at the door. (A brush).
It goes round the wood and round the wood, and never goes into the wood. (The bark of a tree).- Collector
