Little trotty hetty coat in a long petticoat and a red nose the longer she stands the shorter she grows. What is it?
Common Wrong Answers
“A person”
While a person can wear a coat and a petticoat, the description of 'growing shorter' does not apply to a person, as they do not physically shrink over time.
“A tree”
A tree does have a 'coat' of bark and can be tall, but it does not have a 'red nose' and does not shrink in height; instead, it grows over time.
“A balloon”
A balloon can have a round shape and may shrink in size when deflated, but it does not fit the description of having a 'coat' or 'long petticoat', nor does it stand upright like a candle.
