1)What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else?
2)What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn't fill it up?
3)Scarcely was the father in this world when the son could be found sitting on the roof.
4)What goes up the chimney down, but can't go down the chimney up?
5)When one does not know what it is, then it is something; but when one knows what it is, then it is nothing.

I think squarebear is on the right lines with question 2. I have a book of nursery rhymes and there's something similar in it. It reads

As round as a butter bowl, As deep as a cup, All the Mississippi river can't fill it up and the picture answer is something like a sieve or the bigger, garden variety.
