My Nephew- Sister's son, Ajay had a visit to us on diwali vacation. That night he came to me & we this is what followed.

Smart Ajay: Uncle, can I ask you a riddle?

Me: OK

Smart Ajay: How was the rat able to fly?

Me ( ponders for a while) : Uhmm...Don't know..Why don't you tell me?

Smart Ajay: Because it ate Lite Biscuits.

Me: Oh! ( I don't watch too many advertisements anyway)

Smart Ajay: How was the snake able to fly?

Me: (Smiling triumphantly): Because it ate the Parle lite Biscuits?

Smart Ajay: ( Shaking her dead in dismay) Nooo! Because it ate the rat.

Me : Oh Ok! ( That was easy, I should have guessed. Silly me)

Smart Ajay: Ok, now guess how was the eagle able to fly?

Me: That's easy, because it ate the snake?

Smart Ajay: ( Laughing) Wrong again! It flew because it had wings!

Me: .............................( Stumped)....
