Well, not that bad, but it is not the correct answer. Why the strong emphasis on "we" when we'd be talking about Túrin alone? And the "we" are all the same all the time. In fact, the riddle is pretty consistent. We have the Subject, Its Friends (all subsumed under "we" in the beginning), and Creature Unknown. That's all, and that's all you need to know. And still the whole life story of the subject is caught there, not missing a single important thing.
