Riddle Me This

It was the usual after-dinner talk and laughter amongst our family and the topic went into riddles, easy-peasy ones asked by our 2 boys and of course, everyone, being the sport that we are, offered our answers.

Then Boy (Tai Piu Ko) asked, "Why is it that a man fell off a tall ladder but was not hurt?"

The following were answers offered by our 2 boys which just took the fun away from the riddles :

1. It was a short ladder.

2. It was not the man, it was another man.

3. The man did not fall because he was not really man.

4. It was a woman who fell.

5. It was a mannequin (No the boys didn't say this...but hey I'm writing here so I'm allowed to "edit" .

And the final answer was...the man fell off the 2nd rung of the tall ladder...
