Wednesday's Second Riddle Is................................

Post by Stitchindude »

The second riddle of the day,
come on it's fun and everyone can play!

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

Along the same line I would say he bought a lamp - to fill the room with light - but that is only one thing. I can't think of another...
Wait! Maybe he also bought a stove - to fill it with warmth?

Benceagi answered the call
Her answer is half correct that's all
Yet I'm going to give her the prize
because it is late and I need to rest my eyes!

Let's give benceagi a great big hand for the half correct answer! The answer is "He bought matches and a candle and filled the room with light!"

Good job Benceagi.

I guess I am soppy also because I was thinking an engagement ring and dinner so he could propose to his girlfriend and fill the room with love.
