Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week







Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.

So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...


What animal drops from the clouds?


And, the answer is...

A Reindeer.  

We had everything from falling elephants and gorillas to dragons and inebriated birds today.  Well done!  Come back next week for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!
