THIS IS A ENGLISH RIDDLE THAT I HAD FOR MY TEST AND IT'S HARD, CAN U SOLVE IT?.

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

Answer:

Sticks and straw? :'D

If the first two brothers bought the one thing each that didn't quite fill up the room, then if the third brother both both it would fill the room. ??

Answer:

OMG U HAVE THIS SAME QUESTION, I HAD THIS YESTERDAY, AND I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

Step-by-step explanation:

the son bought a candle and a match, when he lights up the candle, the light of the candle will fill the whole room. this riddle is not meant to fill the whole entire room with something, u an fill it up with something small. like the light in this case.
