Riddles
What is the best tune?—A fortune. What is hot in cold water?—Mustard. Why is tiie sun like a good loaf?— Because it is light when it rises. What is bought by the yard and worn by the foot? —A carpet. Why did the kettle sing?—Because it heard the gas pipe. When is a wall like a fish?—When it is scaled. When will the soup run out of the saucepan?—When there’s a leek in it, of course. Why is the letter “R” dangerous? —Because it is always in the centre of fires. Why does an island in the sea remind you of tiie letter “T”?—Because they both, wherever they may be, are in the midst of water, you'll agree! ”
