Guess what I am thinking of
We buy them from the farmer.

They have eyes, but they

cannot see.

Who can tell what they are?
Who can write the word?

Do you like to guess riddles?

Here are some.

Guess them if you can.

I am very small.

I am timid.

I peep at you from a hole.
I run around after dark.
I creep under the table.

I nibble cheese. What am I?

I am very strong.

I have four hoofs.

Men harness and

drive me.

The stable is my house.

What am I?

I am made of steel and bone.
I have a sharp blade.

Boys use me when they whittle.
You'll find me in a boy's pocket.
Who can tell what I am?

I cannot run and play.

I cannot work.

I am very helpless.

I can laugh and cry.

I sleep in a cradle. Who am I?

I am a maple tree.

My leaves are pretty.
My sap is sweet.

Men boil my sap.

What do they make of

it ?

See what I have.

It is a valentine.

It is mine.

I think it is pretty.

It was sent to me.

I do not know who sent it.

There are words on my valentine. I can read them.

They say, "I love you."

I sent two valentines.

One of them said, "To my love." I sent that one to Papa.

The other one said,

""Tis a valentine I send you,

And with love I send it too."

I sent that one to Mamma.

Buy a large one for the lady,
And a small one for the baby;

Come buy, my pretty lady,

Come buy you a broom.

Buy a broom!

Buy a broom!

These are the words of an old song.

Who knows this song?

Ask mother if she ever sang it.
