97. FIND THE ANIMAL
A part of me in rain,
A part in hail must be,
A part belongs to pain,
A part in bones we see,

A part in any topper;
Two parts are heard in sound,
And in our finals found.

The countryman who cut one hole in his door for the cat and another for the kitten would find it difficult to pass a penny through a hole the size of a shilling cut in a stout piece of paper.
This diagram shows how easily it can be done:—
Fold the paper across the centre of the hole, place the penny in the fold, and bend the lower corners of the paper upwards. This elongates the opening, and the coin falls through.
