There's a big elephant and a little elephant. The little elephant is the big elephant's son. But the big elephant is not the little elephant's father.
How can that be?
And when you have worked that out, try the
Frog Puzzle

A girl lives on the top floor of a tower block. When she goes to school in the morning, she rides the lift all the way down. But when she comes home at night she rides the lift 3/4 of the way up and gets out and goes up the stairway the rest of the way.
Why's that then?
