RiddlesNoah of old three babys had.
Grown up children rather Shem
Ham and Jafeth they were called
Now who was Jafeth father
NoahWhat goes up stairs black and white and comes down read
a bookHere I have and yonder I see a black lamb with with blue feet
Your breathWhat is full in the day time and empty at night
My shoesMy father told me these riddles.
He is years.
