3. It's the best one I've ever seen.
4. The rug at her stairway was made in India.
5. He's an old friend.
6. Amos sold his bicycle to an old friend.

Not sure if these are supposed to go together or be 6 separate things.

Spoiler

Did Amos sell his bicycle *TO* an old friend? Sell an old friend to his bicycle? (!?!?!?) Sell his bicycle which he considers an old friend?

When I see something has one letter, I think of an envelope or the words "a" or "I".

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

That's a really neat puzzle!
