Riddles

Just two hairs grow upon her head,
But she wears a flowered gown
And dances along the flower bed-
The prettiest creature in town!

I always thought of it like this: Walk around a chimney, and you'll see four corners. :-)

You got it right, Sarah! (Or Purple Wind-Up Princess, whichever you prefer.) :-)

Actually, yours was a pretty good answer, too. :-)

Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us when they are tired;
We tire the horse, yet comfort man:
Tell me this riddle if you can.

Good one! I know the answer… Abigail should try to get this one. :P LOL ;)

The only thing I can think of right now that makes any sense is coffee beans, but I don't get how that would make a horse tired. xP xP

LOL! (for real!)

A carriage?

I know what it is cuz I cheated and looked it up. :D But I'll let other people guess. :)

A buggy?

Sorry, everybody… the answer is +coal+. I don't really know how coal can be admired….maybe when it's cold outside and the coal is burning?

Round like an apple,
Deep like a cup,
Yet all the kings horses can't pull it up.

A well? I can think of a bunch of things that could fit with this. :P

You got it right, SavedByGrace! :-)

A hill-full, a hole-full,
You cannot catch a bowl-full.

Smoke!!!

Do you like Beatrix Potter?

Well, actually the answer I was thinking of was +fog+, but smoke will work just as well. :-) Yes, I do like Beatrix Potter; we used to read those stories all the time. I'm assuming you, also, have read "Squirrel Nutkin". :-)

Crooked as a rainbow,
Teeth like a cat,
I bet a gold fiddle
You cain't guess that.

LOL! "Squirrel Nutkin" was/is one of my favorites!!! So sad! His poor tail (or tale)! XP

A smile?

Sorry, that riddle might have been a little too vague. The answer was +a briar bush+.

A bright red flower he wears on his head;
His beautiful coat needs no thimble nor thread;
_ And though he's fearsome, I'll have you know_
Ten thousand doors open when he says so!
What is it?

Fire?

I had to return and post this before I forgot.

Adam, God made out of dust but thought it best to make me first, so I was made before man to answer God's most holy plan. A living being I became and Adam gave to me my name. I from his presence then withdrew and more of Adam never knew. I did my Maker's law obey nor ever went from it astray. Thousands of miles I go in fear but seldom on earth appear. And without hands, or feet, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole. I labor hard by day, by night. To fallen men I give great light. Thousands of people, young and old will by my death great light behold. No right or wrong can I conceive. The scripture I cannot believe, although my name therein is found. They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me, real happiness I will never see. To heaven I shall never go or to hell below. Now when these lines you slowly read, go search your Bible with all speed; for that my name is written there, I do honestly to you declare. What am I?

The sun? Aslan? =D

wind, or A worm.

No. Neither of those are correct.

A whale?

Sorry, guys; the answer is +a rooster+. :-)

What is it, that which goes up the hill
And down the hill,
And of all yet standeth still?

Correct. Good job.

Grass?

A road?

You got it right, Purple Wind-Up Princess! (Or Sarah, whichever you prefer.) :-)

The beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space,
The beginning of every end
And the end of every place.

:-)
