Fish And The General's Name

Here's the rewritten version: The first riddle asks, 'What fish has a name that spells out the name of a famous general when you read it backwards?' The children also solve this puzzle: 'If you take a barber, add the letter A, add standing up straight, take away the letter D, and add pieces from an old-fashioned lamp, what movie star do you get?'
