    “What is it that is full of holes and yet holds water? A sponge”

    (continued from previous page)
    What is it that goes from house to house and never touches a bit of the house?
    A path
    As round as an apple, as flat as a pan, one side a woman and the other side a man? A penny
    Why is the letter F like a banana skin
    Because they both make all fall
    What is the highest building in the world
    A library because it contains thousands of stories
    What is taken from you before you get it?
    Your photo
    What is it that goes from house to house and leaves a loaf at every door? Snow.
