to answer Roxy Wolf...


The snail says WEEEEEEEE!!!!! (as the turtle is fast to the snail).


To reply to JC_Shepherd...


The beginning of eternity and the end of time and space is the letter "E".
The paragraph is unusual because it lacks the letter "E", a common letter in the English language.

I love these old ones, but they always seem to be guessed very quickly. Ah well, here's another pair of them...


"Thirty white horses on a red hill. First they champ, then they stamp, and then they stay still. What are they?"


"A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet inside Golden Treasure is hid. What is it?"


 

[Ares the Ram]

the box is an egg. the yolk inside is the gold treasure. the horses are the graves of soldiers?

[Otebon Albrecht]

You are right about the egg. The egg is a box without hinges and hides a golden treasure.


About the horses though, Macid, you aren't even close. Nice try though! 


Here's the riddle again so people don't have to go back a page and see it.
"Thirty white horses on a red hill. First they champ, then they stamp, and then they stay still. What are they?"

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

"What does man love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife?
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire?
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves,
and all men carry to their graves?"

There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?
