J-Word Play: January ’13

上がったり下がったりする野菜って何でしょう？

(あがったりさがったりするやさいってなんでしょう？)

Highlight the area below for the answer:

Answer: かぶ (turnip or stock)

Our December riddle asks “What vegetable goes up and down?” This one isn’t so much tricky as demanding of your vocabulary skills. かぶ is the common pronunciation for both stock (as in the stock market, hence up and down) and the common turnip.

Happy holidays!
