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