Doggone Kids
Here's another one for you! I know they aren't all that difficult, but at least it will keep you thinking daily. I don't want your grey matter to get too mushy and start leaking out your ears!
Farmer Jones was complaining to officer Luke Sharp about four boys from town who had trespassed on his land and let their dogs run loose among his chickens. "The collie and the pug did the damage that the boys' folks ought to pay for," said the farmer. "But the dogs weren't on leashes, and the boys ran away when they saw me coming, so I don't know which dog belonged to which boy."
"What about the other dogs?" asked Officer Sharp.
"There was a boxer and an Irish setter," said the farmer. "Two of my workmen saw the boys before. They nicknamed 'em Red, Scruffy, Shorty and Curly. They said they saw Shorty and Red out with the boxer and the pug one time. And later they saw Scruffy and Curly with the Collie and the Irish setter. They once saw the collie and the pug with Curly and Shorty, too."
"That information," said Officer Sharp, "is enough to tell me which dog belongs to which boy. Come into town tomorrow and we'll go over to the high school. If you can point out th eboys, I'll question the two whose dogs did the damage."
Which dog belonged to which boy?
