English riddles. In this video, we are going to look at 10 English riddles, and I'm going

to give you a chance to answer them before I give you the answer. So, riddles are word

riddle. What word starts with E, ends with E, but only has one letter? You know this

one. You know it. It's envelope. An envelope starts with E, ends with E, and oh, it has

a letter in here. Let's check that out. And this is, yeah, it's the second riddle. Okay,

let's check that out. So, I have a head and I have a tail, but I don't have a body. What

am I? Hmm. You got it? You're a coin. Coins have heads, picture of a person, usually,

and tails. This is a $2 Canadian coin. The tail side is a picture of a polar bear. So,

heads or tails. Number three, which riddle am I going to do next? Okay, it's tails. I

know which one I'm doing. What has hands but can't clap? Yeah, it's a clock. It's definitely

a clock. Oh, I see it's four o'clock here. So, let's move on to the fourth riddle. What

has many keys but can't open a single lock? A piano. That is correct. A piano has many

keys. Now, I don't have a piano, so you will have to deal with my charades over here, but

I do have a key. And actually, why don't we do the next one in another room? So, I'm going

to get this key and go over there. Okay, next one. Where does today come before yesterday?

You got it? It is... Let me hold this up. The dictionary. The dictionary. I'm going

to put this down. It's so heavy. Okay, and you know what? The number six comes before

five, both numerically and in the dictionary. Think about it. Alphabetical F before S. Let's

go on to number six. Which month of the year has 28 days? Let me check before I give you

the answer. Hold on. January, February, March, April, May, June. All of them. Yeah, the answer

is all of them. Every month of the year has at least 28 days. What has cities but no houses?

What is water but no fish? You got it? It's a map. It's a map. So, let's... Have you seen

one of these recently? I think most of us, probably all of us, use digital maps now and

map apps. But yeah, here's a classic map for you if you haven't seen one in a long time.

And I don't know how I'm going to fold that up. And this is my dad's map, so he's going to hate

me for not knowing how to fold it properly. I'll just put it here for now. What goes up

but never comes down? And I'll give you a little hint for this one.

I'm going to stop. I know you hate it that I stopped and didn't finish the song.

I sang "Happy Birthday." What goes up never comes down? Your age. Your age.

It's a sad fact of life, people. Oh, God. Is this over yet?

Yeah, your nose. Your nose. You can have a runny nose, but your nose can't walk,

of course. So, yeah, your nose runs, doesn't walk. We have one more of these. Let's go.
