Head Master : Students!, Now I going to ask you some Puzzles. Whoever answers correctly will get a Chocolate. okay?

Students (looking each other): yes Sir.

Head Master : Swaminatha! First Puzzle is for you. "What has roads but no cars, rivers but no water, and hills but no trees?"

Swaminathan (puzzled; thinks for a minute) : Is it Dessert Sir?

Head Master : Dessert would have cars on its roads and Rivers would not be in Dessert. But a Good Try. Think again.

Swaminathan (puzzled; thinks for a minute) : sorry Sir. I don't know.

Head Master : Its MAP Swami. MAP has road, rivers, seas but no cars, no water and no trees.

Swaminathan : yes Sir. Thats the correct answer.

Swaminathan (To himself) : What a Good Question.
