- These are the riddles my mother taught me:-
Patch upon patch without any stitches, riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of boots.
A head of cabbage.
What is it that eats all it gets and drinks none at all.
The fire.
If it took twenty minuted to wash a baby what would it take to dry her.
A towel.- Collector
