A riddle: A mouse fell into a well. It was not the mouse that suffered but the well. What is that? (Answer: a speckle of dust in one’s eye). A riddle: All the dogs of the nomadic camp barked together. What is that? (Answer: smoke coming out of the yurt pipe). A riddle: Half a bortsg (traditional biscuit) sits on the smoke pipe of the yurt. What is that? (Answer: the moon). A piece of old meat inside a wardrobe. What is that? (Answer: earwax) A saying: Thousand camels stumble on the shit of one camel (it is said when one person does something bad, and as a result many suffer).
