Here's a funny riddle about the great outdoors and the cosmos (tell your kids this one if they are into mysteries, especially if they've ever heard the stories of Sherlock Holmes):

Once Sherlock Holmes and his fearless assistant, Dr. Watson, went on a camping trip.

After having good, hearty meal for dinner, they laid themselves down inside their tent for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, after hearing a nighttime owl begin hooting a strange call, Detective Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

Holmes said: "Watson, look up and tell me what you see".

Watson said: "I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars".

Holmes: "And what does that tell you, my good boy?"

Watson then pondered for a moment...

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are billions of stars and galaxies and potentially millions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo, good news for pisces. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three am. Theologically, I can see that God is All Powerful; and that we are small and insignificant in comparision to the Divine Powers that rule the Universe. And, meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow from the lack of cloud coverage."

Then Dr. Watson follows up his incredibly thorough answer with this:

"Why? What does it tell you, Holmes?"     (give the kids a minute to think it over)

Holmes was silent for a moment then spoke: "Someone has stolen our tent."
