Now, spell the word “silk” out loud. What do cows drink?
Answer: They drink water, silly, not milk!

Answer: The black box is always a bright colour.

Like orange or red—so it’s easy to find.

If a yellow house is made of yellow walls…

…and a green house is made of green walls, and a blue house is made of blue walls, and a white house is made of white walls, then a red greenhouse is made of what?
Answer: Did you answer “red walls”?

But surely you know that greenhouses are made of glass, right?

Answer: It’s pretty hard to get married when you’re dead!

Answer: Hair from squirrel, cow, goat, and sometimes horse.
