Ok here's the next one please!

BenV wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three friends, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room.
 
John Chapman bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room.
 
Geezer bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room.
 
BORED Chemist  bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained BenV's fortune.

What were the two things that BORED chemist bought? [;)] [;)] [;)]

Actually, I'm such a smarta*** I can fill the room with just one object. It rhymes with something you could do with the straw John bought.

Ahhh. Don't worry, you're still the Queen of Puzzles. And I don't know the answer to your last puzzle. Could it be something to do with smell and light? So for instance he bought perfume and a light bulb?

Omid guess you being too kind to omid [:I] and omid also sense that you know the answer cz you've almost answered it. [^]

It was a candle and match box.

What can be seen, but cannot be touched, and when put in a barrel, will make the barrel lighter? [;)]

That's a whole different question.
Anyway I think you can fill the room with light using just a match (a risky business if the room is thatched with straw.)

Sergi and Sally where sitting in their family room one night. While Sergi was watching T.V his wife Sally was reading. All of a sudden the power went out and Sergi decided to go to bed, but Sally kept on reading. With no use of artificial light, Sally kept on reading. How? [;)]

A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Sarah seven apples. Why? [;)]

Ahh. Not if you're my Grandad, it doesn't.

He choked on an apple and died.

That's a true story. He was in hospital at the time and was suffering from mental illness. He tried to stuff all his food in his mouth at the same time and choked.    [xx(]

His father also suffered from mental illness and so did his son, my father, all around their mid-life period. Worryingly, I'm now 46. You will let me know if I ever say anything strange, won't you.

Two girls have were born the same day, at just about the same time, in the same hospital, the same year, and they have the same parents. How is it possible that they aren't twins? [;)]

There was once a man who had a very selfish and unkind son. So one day the father sent his son to the market with one coin and said, "I am sick and tired of your selfish ways. Take this coin and buy with it: something to feed the cows, something to plant in the garden, something for us to eat, and something for us to drink. Dont come back until you do this!" He is only allowed to buy one item. What did he buy that fulfilled his father's wish? [;)]

Well done Omid, Queen of Puzzles. This one seems to have got us all stumped. I'm trying to think of a single food that can fulfil all those functions. Any chance of a clue?  [:o)]
