- (continued from previous page)into the wood? The back of a tree.
'Tis over the fire. 'Tis under the fire and it never touches the fire.
A cake in a pot.
What is the shortest way to get from France to Dover?
Cross off the D and you're immediately over.
What is it that has four legs and yet cannot walk? A chair.
What goes through the thickest wood without touching a twig? An echo.
When is a queen like a piece of wood? When she is ruling.
One half dead, another half living and his tail wagging.
A dog with his head in a pot.
Why does a cow go across the road? To get to the other side.
