NUMBER ONE Puzzle
A wealthy man had been counting his money. When he finished,

he accidentally left a $100.00 bill on his desk. But when he
returned for it a short while later, it was gone. Only two other persons
could have seen the bill. One was the maid and the other was the butler.
The maid told him that she had hidden it for safekeeping under a

green book that was on the desk. But when they looked the bill was
not there. The butler said he had found the bill where the maid had left it.

He had placed it inside the book, where he thought there was less chance

that would find it. He had written down the page numbers so that he

would not forget them. The bill was between pages 35 and 36, he said.

But when they looked, there was no money in the book.

After Mr Ellis had talked to the maid and the butler, he called the police. He

was sure he knew who had taken the money. Who was it, and how did he know?

(keep thinking, don't be too quick to see the answer... if stuck, proceed on...to Puzzle 2)

NUMBER TWO Puzzle

I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them. I also build bridges of silver

and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them.

Who am I?

(That shouldn't be too difficult, all the "hint phrases" are there....., onto Puzzle 3...)

NUMBER THREE Puzzle

I have seven letters. The first two stand for a boy.

The first three stand for a girl.

The first four stand for a brave boy.
But all of my letters stand for a brave girl.

What word am I?
(Now, that's a challenge for our EL colleagues....got it? How often we

remind our kids to read, read and read so as to expand "your vocabulary",....

but what about a smart play of letters and words?

Shouldn't be too difficult for us others (the non-EL type, square, square) I am sure. Onto to the last Puzzle.......

NUMBER FOUR Puzzle

A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother.
How could this be?
(Yes!!!! How could that be???????? But YES it CAN BE... how stero we are!... Now onto the answers which you are dying to see.........)

1. The butler did it. Mr. Ellis knew the butler was lying because pages 35 and 36 in a book are always printed on opposite sides of the same piece of paper.

2. Dentist

3. HEROINE

4. A beggar's brother died
