Hi there,

nn

ps/ Hope that will bring a little smile on someone's face! Life is for
the living ... so let's live for those who had not had a chance! Wishing
you all a wonderful weekends!

*** Let's try to find the answers! I will post the answers later .. all
right? ***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHAT'S IN THE NAME???


When the names of some countries are pronounced, they may remind us of
other things and ideas. For example, a question is asked, "Where would a
fish of if it needed new fins?" To Finland, of course!

So use your imagination and try to "puzzle-out" the answers to the
questions below. If you get them all, you not only know your geography,
but you're a good puzzle-solver as well! Good luck!

1. "I need some ties for birthday presents. To what country should I
go?"

2. "Where can I buy some really loud fireworks?"

3. Telephone poles should be plentiful in this country!

4. Ham and egss go together, so do beans and ???

5. The main part of almost every Thanksgiving meal is plentiful in this
country.

6. There is no problem serving cold drinks in this country.

7. I wonder where I can get a beautiful wool robe to keep me warm.

8. The people in this country buy lots of song sheets so that they can
have a good time at parties.

9. They have many special sales on dinnerware in this country.

10. In this country they don't say, "Oh, Boy!" They say ???

11. There are lots of Cub Scouts in this country.

12. "Waitress, may I have a ________ sugar, please?"

13. You could get a nice tan in this country.

14. "Your wheels aren't turning smoothly? They're squeaking? You could
get just what you need to fix them in this country."

15. Everybody gets enough to eat in this country; no one goes ???

16. I said to her, "You really should go." She replied to me, "No, ???"
