Paul Harvey and his riddle
Permalink  

Can you answer this riddle?

Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey. See if you can
guess the riddle at the end.

 




Paul Harvey Writes:


 

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them
worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and
homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.<
/I>


 

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn
honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the
car.
And I really hope nobody gives you   a brand new car when you are
sixteen.


 

It will be good if at least one time you c an see puppies born and your
old dog put to sleep.


 

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.


 

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister.
And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the
room,   but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's
scared, I hope you let him.


 

When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to
tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.< I>
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you
live in a town where you can do it safely.< /B>


 

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your
driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with
someone as uncool as your Mom .


 

If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one
instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.


 

When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and
subtract in your head .


 

I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on
a boy / girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn  what
ivory soap tastes like.


 

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove
and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.


 

I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it.. And
if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hop e you realize he is not
your friend.


 

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa
and go fishing with your Uncle.


 

May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.


 

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your
neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at
Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.



These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work
and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.
  

Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die
before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.


 

Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends, not by
accepting favors, but by doing them.


 

Paul Harvey RIDDLE:


 

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer,
compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.


 

What is greater than God, More
evil than the devil, The poor have it,
The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
