As I was going down Sandy Lane
I met a man who had seven wives;
Each wife had a bag,
Each bag held a cat,
Each cat a kit.
Now riddle-me-ree,
How many were going down Sandy Lane?
The answer is: “one going down and the others were going up”.
The meaning: the person talking was going down the lane, all the others were going up the lane.
This Nursery Rhyme is a riddle too.
The answer is: “one going down and the others were going up”.
The meaning: the person talking was going down the lane, all the others were going up the lane.
