    “A family which it runs in they have only one eye each.”

    A family which it runs in they have only one eye each.
    Needles.
    A white coat a red head the longer she stands the shorter she grows.
    A lighted candle.
    A messenger narrow and bent from house to house he goes whether it rains or snows he always stays outside.
    A path.
    What crosses a river without a sound.
    The moon.
    Look at your hand and you will see what never was or never will be.
    All your fingers the same length.
    What has a car its no use to it and it cannot go without it.
    Noise
