Willy frowned. "Do you give up?"

"Now I remember," said Willy. "It's something you eat for breakfast with maple syrup.”-

"No, I don't give up. Let mo think," Bald Knart. He repeated. in a puzzled voice, "Long when it's new short when it's old- pretty light when it's dark It's dark, Willy," Knerf "said, "how can it be light?"

That's the riddle, chuckled Willy. "Give up again?"

This time Knart gave up. "It's a candle, Knart. It's long when it's new, it's short when it's old, and when it's dark (at night) it's pretty light (when the candle is lit, I mean),"

Willy hopped off, still chuck- log over his riddle. Knarf called after him, "You learned about riddles pretty quickly all right, Willy"!"

I'm smart," Willy said to himself. "I'll ask myself some more of them. Maybe I'll make up one that I can't answer my- self." And he kept chuckling as he kept hopping.
