I need help on this...BADLY!!!

Are you sure you've copied that down correctly?

The grammar is so bad that the riddle doesn't make any sense.

It is copied correctly, and it sounds really dumb. I have been so upset form it for days. I need to know the answer to it, but I can't find anyone who really does! I just need help...I give you cookies!

now than in winter?

Why do birds fly south N THA winter?

Doesn't really work.

(Ans: It's too far to walk.)

reminds me of a polish joke...

"two storks are flying, one white, the other right"

Q: Why do birds fly south in the winter?
A: Because it's too far to walk!

PEOPLE
PEOPLE
PLEASE!

It's not "Why do birds fly south in the winter?"

It's "Why do more birds fly south THAN in winter?"

Those other answers about it being to far to walk are wrong...it's like a one word answer! Please understand! Thank you for your consideration! You have been all very helpful to me.

I know, jarrodlee.

I'm trying to make the riddle make sense. The "one word" hint could conceivably mean that the key is in one word of the original formulation. "THAN" is capitalized. Maybe it means that "THAN" should become "N THA" ("in the"), yielding a question that makes sense. ("Why do birds fly south N THA/in the winter?") And the answer to that question is, "because it's too far to walk."

Following?

(Note, I'm not saying that's right -- breaks down at a few places, such as the second "in.")

You're like amazing help man...I am asking my teacher (Lets call him bill) today to see if any of those are right...see the thing is that I will get $50 from a certain teacher(Letts call him Ted) if I get it right, but I only have one guess. Bill, who knows the answer is doesn't know about my bet. So if I ask Bill and I get it right, then I can to go Ted and get $50!! YAY! lol...I should give you like half for the credit...or more like all of it...you're amazing!!

I don't want to call him Ted.


Ted brings up too many bad memories for me.
