  We’re going to do something a little different this week.

 Max: Yes!
 
  This week our questions will be riddles.
 
  Do you remember what a riddle is, Kathy?
 
 Kathy: I think so.
 
  A riddle is a kind of word game, isn’t it?
 
  It’s a question without an easy answer.
 
 Max: That’s right, Kathy.
 
  The first riddle is: Why isn’t your nose twelve inches long?
 
  Why isn’t your nose... twelve inches long?
 
  And riddle number two.
 
  Why do birds fly south in the winter?
