  2. Riddles

    “What will go up a chimney down and a chimney up...”

    Share Share Post
    What will go up a chimney down and down a chimney up:
    An umbrella.
    Luke has it before Paul has it behind and Dr. Lowell has it twice as had behind as he has it in front:
    Lowell.
    Little red Nancy
    She sits by the wall
    She eats all she gets
    And drinks none at all:
    Fire.
