Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?

Explanation
The answer to the question is "a fire" because fire needs fuel to sustain itself, and food can be considered as a source of fuel for fire. Without food or fuel, a fire will not be able to continue burning and will eventually die out. On the other hand, water is commonly used to extinguish fires, so if water is given to a fire, it will be put out and cease to exist.

A doctor and a teacher both liked the same girl. One day the teacher went on a week vacation for summer. He gave her seven apples. Why?

Explanation
The answer "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" suggests that the teacher gave the girl seven apples because he wanted to ensure that she stays healthy and doesn't need to visit the doctor. This phrase is a common saying that implies that eating an apple every day can help maintain good health and prevent the need for medical attention. Therefore, by giving her seven apples, the teacher is expressing his concern for her well-being and indirectly showing his affection towards her.
