If precious asks, and it doesn't

Oh no, that seems to be a bit of a mountain for me to get over, so I'll leave it there.

OK then, what can go up a chimney down, but not down a chimney up? (This is an ordinary house chimney by the way)

I'm sorry, Nick, but no. I'll give you a clue, it's something you don't usually stick up a chimney, but might be held in a similar fashion to the brush in your picture.

I was hoping it was.

I had an idea that to answer such a question you would probably have to think outside of the box, but I'm not so sure now.
I could think of two, coming from the way your question was written. The first would be a hole, as you make one in the construct of the box itself. My second, and this is where the irony of thinking outside of the box comes in, a light(candle or torch...etc...) as inside the wooden box would be probably dark, and the light would illuminate the inside.

I think Alani Dragon's got it. Is that the correct answer TJ?

OK, you start off with a refrigerator, alright? How do you put an elephant into it?

Inside a green house was a white house. Inside the white house was a red house containing lots of black babies. The red house was bigger than all the other houses. What is it?

I'm sorry, Nick, I didn't need to work that one out as I already knew it. It's a watermelon. I hope this doesn't count as cheating. If it does, Nick, then have another go.
