- Riddles written by Lily Walsh age 14.Q I know a little house and I can't count how many windows in it.
A A thimble.Q Why does a cow look over the ditch.
A Because she can't look under it.Q When are goats like dogs.
A When they eat leaves and bark.Q What never says a word till it caught by the tail.
A A bell.Q Spell Blackwater in three letters.
A Ink.Q What time of day was Adam born.
A A little before Eve.Q A steel horse with a flaky tail went over a bone bridge with a little brass man driving.
A A girl sewing.Q What turns but never stirs.
