marble walls as white as milk
lined with skin as soft as silk
within a fountain crystal clear
no doors are there to this stronghold
yet thieves break in and steal the gold

each wife had seven sacks
each sack held 7 cats
each cat had 7 kits
kits cats sacks wives
how man people went to st. ives
10 pionts to the person who get them all right

Hi,
I'd say Teeth and 0 or 1 or 2. He was GOING to St. Ives, but did he make it? If not, 0. If so, 1. Was the man with all the family headed in the same direction? It doesn't say, so the answer could possibly be 2.
