What is it that has a head and no face?
A match
In a field there is a house and in the house there is a cup and in the cup there is a sup that everyone should drink?
Poison
Under water over water and never touches it?
A woman walking over a bridge with a can of water on her head.

A thimble
What is half the moon?
The other half.
What is like a black sweep without a white fleece?
