DONKEY IN A KENNEL


-->
Have a laugh with me... and win by solving this riddle: -->

I am always amazed at Paul’s ability to put concepts together spontaneously and express them so beautifully. You see, Paul has an extremely high verbal-linguistic intelligence and that is often illustrated by his quick way of saying things so aptly, the latest being about the ‘donkey in a kennel’…

During dinner times we always cross-check with one another to ensure all guests are happy. Such was the case again last night when we exchanged thoughts about our very discerning Dutch visitors. I think I showed slight concern on my face when Paul said: “Ag no man, don’t worry - they’re kuiering a donkey out of a kennel!” Knowing Paul pretty well I knew exactly what he meant, but I also know how he arrived at this strange saying. I folded in half with hysterics and still cannot stop laughing!

So how did Paul get to this twisted description of our guests’ state of being? The first person that can solve this riddle by posting the answer containing the two proverbs from which this twister originated can stay at Old Joe’s Kaia with his/her partner for one night, including Dinner, Bed and Breakfast with our compliments! (terms and conditions apply).
Clue (disadvantage): you have to know the Afrikaans language fairly well.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

AND THE WINNER IS:  Erica Cosijn (from Pretoria)
Well done Erica, who figured the two proverbs Paul merged in this crooked saying:

  1. "Hulle kuier 'n hond uit 'n bos uit."
  2. "Talking a hind leg off a donkey" (where does that come from by the way???)

We look forward to your stay, Erica - it's always great to have you here!
