    What is it that flies low flies high has no feet but yet wears out shoes.
    Dust.
    Over the fire and under the fire and never touches the fire.
    Bread in an oven.
    When is a tree as comfortable as a bed.
    When it is down.
    How does the church know it is Christmas.
    Because the bells are tolled.
