Yay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is the "fish" riddle, Lady_Bain.
Several pages ago, someone asked this one. I found it in my book and didn't have a corresponding answer for it, so I posted it asking for the answer. I then asked Sam if she was the one who posted it originally, but she told me it wasn't her's, but Greenbow's. Hope this helps! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, ya, it isn't the sun or the moon. Ya'll are on the wrong track. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] okay at the risk of sounding really stupid I'm going to ask if someone can take me through the fish riddle step by step cause honestly i don't get it at all [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] sorry but this is just going to stay at the back of my mind til I get it. I hate not understanding things [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, I didn't know that was what you meant

Though precious it looks, a shiny stone,
(Its scales are shiny)
It was not born in the earth.
(It was born in water)
It speaks all day, but no sound is heard,
(It opens and closes its mouth all the time)
And no matter how far it goes,
It will always end up in the same place.
(It can never leave its bowl or tank)

Is this better? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

ahhhhh thats better thank you [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] now i can rest easier [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Susan, all i can think of with your riddle is a pillow...thats really hard

i have one i dont know if this has been done already but i guess not
What animal is that which in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?
slightly odd i know but see if you can get it

Pillows should not be hard, though..... Sorry, just playing. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] couldn't resist.

--Belin Ibaimendi

Very funny, Belin. She's only joking around cause she knows the answer.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] and, no, sadly, it is not a pillow [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

well since pillow was wrong im gonna guess again...my boyfriend keeps telling me its a birdcage, so thats my guess.

No, it's not a birdcage either

a cloud?

No....you're on the wrong track

A Man. When he's born, he crawls- 4 legs
When he grows, he walks on two
When he's old he uses a cane-3legs.

Anyamiex, yours is man, who when young crawls on all fours, walks on two during the prime of his life, and uses a cane when he is old.

Susan, is yours a window?

Way to go, Rae! Beat me by sixty seconds!

No, it is not a window. Think organic...

Why don't you take my turn Nuranar, I can't think of a riddle to save my soul.

What's black and white and red all over?

Would I be right in saying A FIRE, Susan of Hambry?

your eyes?

Oh yes, I almost forgot,

What is light as a feather, but no-one can hold it for long?

F.G.

Why, your breath, Mr. Greenbow [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

and, yes "a fire" will do [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I pass before the sun yet make no shadow. What am I?

i dont get it... how is that a fire? can you explain it?

Surely
At night, one builds up sticks and other pieces of wood to build the fire. In the morning, the wood is all burned away, leaving nothing in its place but ash. It's simply a different use of the word "dressed" Substitute "built" and it'll work too.

I also would have accepted "a rose"(or other flower) because at night it closes over its delicate inner parts and in the morning opens again, exposing itself to the sunlight.

Black white and read all over? hmmmmm... maybe this is a ratorical(spl?) riddle but i am gonna bite a newspapper?

or maybe a bloody zebra eeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] (not the English bloody [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

susan is yours a star or stars?

Nay, that be not it, Milady [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

To Susan, Thankee-sai, you speak true, the answer is indeed Breath.

as for
I will not answer this just yet, but instead will give another.

Cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind the stars and beneath the hills.
Ends life and kills laughter.

What is it?

And NO Susan, your not answering it!

"Easy! Dark, I suppose."
in the words of Mr. Bilbo Baggins himself

That is correct Lindolirian, the dark it is.

With no wings, I fly.
With no eyes, I see.
With no arms, I climb.
More frightening than any beast, stronger than any foe.
I am cunning, ruthless, and tall; in the end, I rule all.

What am I?

F.G.

I've got another riddle!

You have seen me, and heard me.
But yet you have no seen me.
I come from an unknown place,
and go to an unknown place.

What am I? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is it wind?

Hm.....
Sam's ?th Riddle
---------------------------------------------
I can reach out and grab you
yet, I have no hands.
Often I can hurt a person,
but people come in my presence
without much fear, anyway.
What am I?
---------------------------------------------

Sam, is it love?

Don't forget mine, also

I pass before the sun yet make no shadow. What am I?

Susan, is the answer either darkness, the night or twilight?

Sorry, it's none of those.

No, Susan, not love--
As for: "I pass before the sun..."
is it a cloud?

Hello, everyone! This thread has certainly grown since last time I was here...

Susan - this is probably out of left field but is the answer a witch? (If I remember correctly witches weren't supposed to be able to cast shadows. Or be photographed, for that matter).

Samwise - Is yours illness? It certainly grabs you quickly, anyway...

Hi, Kalimac! good to see you.

Susan, I'm stumped. That's a good riddle.

I have nothing pertinent to add, neither guesses nor further riddles. I think I'm riddles out.
