One morning a mouse walked down a stony path. It had just rained the night before, so everything was clean and refreshed. He was very thirsty, and looked around for something to drink. By the side of the road, there was a big glass of water! Someone had left an empty glass there, and it had filled up with rainwater. When the mouse tried to take a drink, he found he could not because he was very short and his snout was not very long. He didn't climb inside the glass because he was afraid he would not be able to get back out again. Minutes later, he took a drink from the glass and walked away down the road.

The question is: how did the mouse get a drink of water?

There was no moisture on the grass, the mouse was not strong enough to push the glass over, and all of the rocks around him were not big enough to use as a stool. He didn't eat a mushroom either. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

He managed to topple the glass and drunk from the puddle?

It found a straw?

He ate a mushroom and got bigger? (If you've played a Super Mario game then you know where I'm getting this from

There was mostiure on the outside of the glass as well; so he drank that...

It rained the night before so water wouldn't have been that hard to find right? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Stood on a stone?

what's the answer Willard???

I WANT TO KNOW!!!! by the way, i think the moisture on the glass is the answer.

*I* said that first!

Nope. Try again!

Someone came by and knocked it over? or he used the force to topple the glass over or he farted and it propelled him into the glass?

How about he put stones in the glass until the water overflowed out of the glass and then he drank?

Mark

Yes! It was a rocky road, and the rain washed all of the dirt off the stones. The clever mouse threw the stones into the glass until the water was overflowing. He drank the water then.

Well as you already know (living in Vermont) that I(we) have more than enough C02 coming in from the west of us, so I'll have to turn down 1/2 of the prize! ;)

Mark

Can I have the CO2 then?!

It's very useful for, um, feeding plants. :D

You didn't say it was one of those 'Stone Throwing Mice'. :D

Well, the mouse didn't have thumbs, so...
