  1. I walked up a path and down a path and walked a path on my back
    a ladder
    what is it that walks around the house all day and sleeps on its head all night
    the nails of a foot
    what is it that is black and white and red all over? a newspaper
    what is it that the more you cut off it the longer you will make it? a glove
    as round as an apple as flat as a pan, one side a woman and the other a man
    a penny
