NAME:

the riddle of time

Sheep Grandma Babi loves riddles and jokes. Tonight, she is putting Babi to bed and counting some of the ones she remembers.
– Say: what animal can fly higher than a house? – Grandma asks.
Babi knows:
– Birds, bats.
– In fact, all animals can fly higher than houses because houses don't fly! - Grandma laughs - What is big, black and eats rocks? – she asks, challenging Babi.

– Horatio! - Babi laughs - He's big and black. But usually he eats cookies!
– The answer is: A big black stone eater! - Grandma laughs - Now, what is it that the more you get wet, the drier it gets?
Babi is confused.
– A bath towel – says Grandma – do you understand? And what is it that the more you take the bigger it gets?
Babi struggles to think but can't figure it out.
- The hole! – exclaims grandma.
– I have one for you, grandma! – says Babi – What did a two kilogram chick say?
Grandma frowns.
- I do not know.
– Peyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! - Babi shouts.
Grandma and Babi laugh a lot.
– It seems that riddles and jokes are in our blood. That was great! Can't wait to tell someone! - Grandma says.
So grandma hugs Babi and kisses her good night. She wraps her in the covers and turns off the light.
