  1. What tree satisfies hunger :-
    The pantry.
    Why does a clock never strike thirteen _
    Because it has not the face.
    Born at the same time as the world destined to live as long as the world, yet never five weeks old _
    The moon.

    Because it is out of thee head.
    What is always behind time _
    The back of a watch.
