Illustration for the riddle “She Is Breathing Perfectly”

Christmas Eve · ★★☆

She Is Breathing Perfectly

On Christmas morning a two-year-old swallows something she picked up under the tree. She is not choking, she is not coughing, she breathes perfectly and asks for more chocolate. At the hospital she is taken ahead of everyone and put to sleep within the hour. What she swallowed is not sharp, not poisonous and not a medicine. Why the hurry?
