A Red Robe and Staff In Hand
I wear a red robe,
With staff in hand,
And a stone in my throat.
Cut me and I weep red tears
What am I?
A cherry
There are a few other variations of this one:
As I went through the garden gap,
Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap!
A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat,
If you’ll tell me this riddle, I’ll give you a groat.
(Said to be the lyrics to A Cherry)
I slipped down a slippery gap,
Found a man with a red cap,
He had a stick in his back and a stone in his belly,
Riddle me this and I’ll give you a penny.

When you look at me,
You think of yourself.
I am always ready to talk
Whether times are easy or rough.
What am I?
A mirror.

Thanks to Sherry for submitting this one. Here’s the backstory of the riddle.
