Happy Monday, neighbours, this riddle has three answers, can you solve it 🤔
I am a word of meanings three.
Three ways of spelling me there be.
The first is an odour, a smell if you will.
The second is some money, but not in a bill.
The third is past tense, a method of passing things on or around.
Can you tell me now, what these words are, that have the same sound?
