General Riddles
Since the mods haven´t commented on my proposal for general riddles, I´ll open a thread for them. Here you may post riddles that do not concern Tolkien´s worlds. I´d love to read old "folklore" riddles that come from the countries where you´re living in. And if ye have to translate the riddles in English, all the better: you possibly learn new words and stuff.
 Feel free to make up your own ones, too, but don´t make them too hard.  ...

Nice idea for a thread!
Here are two riddles I remember from my childhood: (These hardly qualify as Egyptian "folklore") I eat everything, but if I drink I die
I can't read, but I write all day
These are too obvious I think. Do you have better ones? |

Sorry it took so long, here we go again...
A big bird pecking to a pit, from the pit comes water? Has a neck and a mouth, but no head? And a bit harder one...  Born in the forest, grew in the woods, rests on the wall, sings on thy knees? (Pssst... How do I make the spoiler tags?)
