- What kind of a dog is a three feet dog? A yard dog. Undet the water, over the water and never tips the water? A woman going over a bridge with a pail of water on her head. What has two eyes and cannot see? A Bridge. As round as an apple as deep as a pail and it never bawls out till it is caught by the tail? A bell. What is the difference between a fish and a child? A fish makes its bed in the ocean and a child makes its ocean in the bed? Why does a cow look over the ditch? Because she couldn't look under it. Up the hill a wonder, down the hill a thunder, twenty four blackbirds tearing the hill asunder. A harrow. Good hearty father, old lazy mother, twelve little children and they all the one colour? A Clock.
