Max: It’s Question of the Week time, Kathy!
Are you ready to play?
Kathy: I certainly am!
Max: This week our questions will be riddles.
A riddle is a kind of word game.
It’s a question without an easy answer.
And often the answer is a kind of joke.
Kathy: Well... I think I’m ready.
Max: Okay... first riddle: Why isn’t your nose twelve inches long?
Kathy: Twelve inches long?
Hmm... Let me see....
Max: Do you want a hint?
Kathy: Yes, please.
Max: Twelve inches is one foot.
Kathy: One foot? Twelve inches is one foot.
Oh, oh, oh. I get it!
Your nose can’t be twelve inches long...
Because if it were twelve inches long, it would be a foot!
Max: That’s right, Kathy!
It would be a foot! A foot is twelve inches long!
Kathy: Okay, I’m ready for riddle number two.
