RIDDLES.
When is a barrel hungry? When it takes a roll. (Sent by Ruth Nicholson.) What is the worst thing they can do to a farmer? Tramp on his corn. (Sent by Gladys James.) First it’s green, then it’s red, had a Christinas pudding for its bed. What is it? A holly berry. What is it that is dug out of the ground, shut up in a wooden case and used by nearly everybody? The lead of a pencil. (Sent by Irene Wilson.) I am an animal worth more than £1? Guinea-pig. What is your pussy-cat by trade? A bird fancier. Why. did the water run? Because it saw the land slide. Why is there no such thing as a whole day? Because each day begins by breaking. What is it we say we’ll do, but never do? Stop a minute. (Sent by Claire Grinlinton.)
