Alice frowned at Lily’s answer. Fact of the matter was they didn’t know the answer -it had been puzzling them all day- but the answer sounded so ludicrous that Alice couldn’t say for sure if it was correct. “An umbrella?” Alice repeated. “Why would anyone want to put an umbrella up a chimney? That’s dangerous and entirely impractical! Surely that can’t be the answer.”

“I’m not sure” she shook her head “maybe it’s not supposed to be practical?” Lily gave a shrug, “but if you think about it it does make sense. When an umbrella is down it’s like a pole or a stick so it’d go down a chimney just fine, but when an umbrella is up it wouldn’t fit up a chimney”
