They sat without talking for awhile, then the farmer said, “Let’s do something to kill the time.”“What do you want to do?” the doctor asked. “We can ask eachother riddles,” the farmer said. “Let’s make the rules first,” thedoctor said. “To make the game more interesting, we play it formoney. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay eachother $ 200.” The farmer thought about her idea for a while. Then she said,“That’s not fair. You are a doctor, you have a lot of knowledge. Youknow more things than I do. I am just a farmer.” “That’s true! Whatshould we do?” the doctor said. “If you don’t know the answer toa riddle, you pay me $200. If I don’t know the answer to a riddle, I’llpay you $100.” the farmer said. The doctor thought about this, then she said, “OK. That’s fair.Who’ll go first?” “I will. Here is my riddle. What has three legswhen it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” the farmer said.The doctor repeated the riddle. “What has three legs when it walks,but only two legs when it flies? Hmm. That’s a good one. I’m afraidI don’t know the answer.” She gave the farmer $200, then said, “Tell me the answer.
