A very mean king went to a nearby village. He wanted some more slaves to serve him at his royal palace. He decided that if any family in the village had more than five children, he would take them. A cobbler and his wife had ten children. When the king came to take them, the cobbler and his wife begged and begged. Finally the king said, "I see that you have ten pairs of shoes in a box. If you can give each of your children a pair and still leave one pair out of ten in the box, you can keep your children. The cobbler and his wife began to smile at each other. How did they keep all of their children?

I was thinking they made another pair, but that is just too easy an answer. LOL

Two of the kids only had one leg?
But really, I think Sara already got the answer. Very good!

Not exactly, but very close. They just gave the 10th kid the shoes still in the box.

At noon, you look at the clock in your bedroom. The big hand is on the five and the little hand is in between the 3 and the 4. What time is it?

This one's too easy  Quote: Put this on,
And warm you'll be.
Take one off,
And an emotion, you'll see. |
