A nice wee horse grey and slim,
A long white flowing tail on him,
And now a man with brassy hood,
Is driving him all through the wood.
Answer. A needle, and thread, a thimble, and a wooden button.
What grows in the wood, and sounds in the town,
And earns for his master many a pound?
Answer. A fiddle.
What touches one, but unites two?
Answer. A wedding ring.
What goes round, and round the house with a harrow after it?
Answer. A Hen with a flock of chickens after her.
What goes round the house, and round the house and sits in the corner at night?
Answer. A Brush.- Collector
