Buford is holding something in his hand reciting the
following riddle.
I started with three and felt a need
to cut one off
and
so I did the deed.
To my dismay it fell to the floor,
and in my hand I
then
had four.
Cutting another, I did contrive,
and in my hand I
then
had five.
Name for me these growing things,
and bask
in
the
glory a
correct answer brings!
Give up? . . . check the answer.
