What turns and never moves? Milk.
What grows in the wood and sounds in the town and earns his master many a pound? A fiddle.
It is headed like a thimble, and tailed like a rat; you will think of many things, before you think of that? A pipe. What goes from house to house and sleeps out-side at night? A pad.
