- A number of boys put their fists one on top of the other and one of them says: -
What's up?
A cock of hay.
Knock it down and throw it away.
So on till there is only one fist left. Then the owner of it says: -
What is in this box?
Bread and cheese.
Where is my share?
The cat carried it.
Where is the cat?
He is lying on the sop.
Where is the sop?
The fire burned it.
Where is the fire?
The water quenched it.
Where is the water?
The bull drank it.(continues on next page)- Collector
