How Many Ducks?
On the bus Paddy got chatting to Murphy
who was
carrying a bag on his back.
"What's in the bag?" asked
Paddy.
"I'm not going to tell," replied Murphy.
"Go on, do."
pleaded Paddy.
"Ah, all right then, it's ducks." announced
Murphy.
"If I guess how many ducks you have in the bag, will
you give me
one of them?" enquired Paddy.
"Look," said Murphy, "if you guess the
correct number,
I'll give you both of them."
"Five!" said Paddy
triumphantly.

"That's
grand!" shouted O'Gara. "Does that mean I get to
keep the money?"
