The Cave Riddle Part II

"Tell Amah your cave riddle," I prodded Ezra at dinner last night. He shakes his head, his mouth full of Tofu Pad Thai.

"You do it."

"Okay." I begin to tell her, pausing at the parts I'm unsure of. It turns out that I'm telling it WRONG, according to Ezra's mushy whisper in my ear. He's re-formulated the riddle since last night.

"You have a mirror and table," he hisses. But "table" sounds like "cable," and last night I'm pretty sure he said "rope"----

"You have a mirror and a table. You see what you saw. You use the saw to saw the table in half. Two halves make a whole, and you climb out through the hole."

I almost collapse in delight.
