Little Nancy Etticoat

Little Nancy Etticoat
In a white petticoat,
And a red nose.
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows.

    This nursery rhymes is a ridlle too.
    A variant:

    Little Nanny Natty Coat
    Has a white petticoat,
    The longer she lives
    The shorter she grows.

    The answer is: “a candle”.
