Riddle 17. Up and down...

Up and down, up and down; never touches the sky nor ground.

Reveal the answer(s).



Comments: From Folk-Lore from Elizabeth City County, Virginia by Elsie Clews Parsons. If you have indoor plumbing, the water-pump is not part of your daily life, but there are a lot of proverbs about pumps because for people who get their water that way, it is an object of great interest. For a similar item, see Riddle 22.
