Yes, of course, it is a candle; as the candle burns, it gets shorter. Although this also happens with people. We also lose height as we get older.

3. What month of the year has 28 days?

Answer: All of\\xa0them

That\'s right; all months have at least 28 days. Although in a leap year, the extra day is added to the end of February, making it 29 days instead of 28.

4. What is full of holes but still holds water?

Answer: A sponge

If there is a hole in a glass or bucket, the water comes out, but the sponge will absorb the water even though it has holes in it.
