RIDDLES
When can rain be said to be studious? —When it is pouring over a bookstall. Why is a defeated army like cloth? — Because it is worsted. When is a butcher like a thief? — When ho steels (steals) a knife. Why should a thrush be a good carpenter?— Because he always knows where to find his (s)nails. Why is a grimace like a cereal? — Because it is wry (rye). When are your clog's paws protected against rain? —When lie gets pats (spats). —From Joyce Walker, To Kulu.
