How many were Going To Saint Ives???

 

This is a very old rhyming riddle. See if you can answer it by reading and thinking very carefully.


As I was going to Saint Ives,
I crossed the path of seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kittens,
Kittens, cats, sacks, wives,
How many were going to Saint Ives?

Something fishy going on!!!

 

Although each of the following sentences sounds okay at first, there's really something wrong with each one of them. Read the sentences and explain why each one is a little "fishy."


  1. 1.No one goes to that restaurant any more because it's too crowded.

  2. 2.I'm glad I don't like spinach, because if I liked it, I'd eat it, and it tastes awful.

  3. 3.If you can't read this sign, ask for help.
