Good morning, Riddle Masters! :)

I've got your second riddle of the week. This one will get your brain's gears moving. Are you ready? Here it goes:

Ten pears hanging high, ten men come passing by. Each took a pear and left nine hanging there. How could that be?

Ooh, this one might take a little bit of pondering. So, good luck!

This is cool ... "always read the question" my Dad would say. Now having done that, the answer is right there in the statement that "Each" took "a" pear and "left" nine hanging there. So, "Each" must be the name of the person who took the pear ... he then left nine hanging there. Thanks Dad. You're welcome!!!!
 
"Each" is the name of the person who took a pear.
