Max: It’s Question of the Week time.
We’re going to do something a little different this week.
Kathy: Something different?
Max: Yes!
This week our questions will be riddles.
Do you remember what a riddle is, Kathy?
Kathy: I think so.
A riddle is a kind of word game, isn’t it?
It’s a question without an easy answer.
Max: That’s right, Kathy.
The first riddle is: Why isn’t your nose twelve inches long?
Why isn’t your nose... twelve inches long?
And riddle number two.
Why do birds fly south in the winter?
Why do birds fly south... in the winter?
We’ll have our answers next week.
