Trees?

[Ruckus Fox]

I'll take one final guess at it....If you've all heard that story of "The cooking stone" about how the young hobo boy fooled a town into making a pot of stew for him, then you might be thinking the same as me...

Stone? (I.E. Rock.)

Sorry Fox, Hyperfried is correct again.

In order to get people used to the new rule, here's an easy riddle:
Riddle #15
Never ahead, ever behind,
Yet flying swiftly past;
For a child I last forever,
For adults I'm gone too fast.

[asyluman]

Life.

Kids think they can be a kid forever, adults wonder about getting old and such.

[CongressJon]

It could be life... But just in case you're wrong, I'll say time.

Time is never ahead or behind of you: you live in the present. Yet, at many times, it seems that a day goes by in the span of a few short hours, if y'all know what I mean. For a child... A year seems like forever. And for an adult... They often look back wistfully on their younger years, wondering where the time went that whole time.

[Bashae]

Both of you are very close, but no cigar.

[CongressJon]

Well, in that case, Regus, I'll use this here search button and say... childhood.

Childhood always seems to fly by quickly or drag by incredibly slowly, and, as a child, you live it. To a child... a minute can seem like an hour, and they hate staying little. To an adult... they wistfully look back at the days when they were a child, wondering where the time went.

[Bashae]

Regus, that's new . Anyway, nicely put there Hyperfried!

Riddle #16
Two horses, swiftest travelling,
Harnessed in a pair, and
Grazing ever in places
Distant from them.

[Red Sentinel]

i would say a married couple/couple.





two horses= to people together


travelling=honeymoon

distant places= thinking of where to live and where to buy a house.




('tis prolly wrong)

[Ruckus Fox]

My friend thinks air and sea, since both travel together over places.

And I think it's clouds. Clouds often come together in pairs and they can travel over any land mass.

---Ruckus the Rogue

[CongressJon]

It's eyes.

Eyes move very quickly, in fact, I believe I once heard that they move 50 times per second. They're "harnessed together", in saying that, well, the eyeballs are locked in plaace next to the bridge of your nose. As for "grazing ever in places distant from them"... They eyes seem to feast upon images sometimes, soaking up pictures many feet away.

[Bashae]

You were very close Ruckus... Hyperfried is correct however. Another acceptable answer was the moon and the sun.

Riddle #17
Round she is, yet flat as a board
Altar of the Lupine Lords.
Jewel on black velvet, pearl in the sea
Unchanged but e'erchanging, eternally.

[CongressJon]

Ze moon. The moon is, obviously, round, but in the sky it appears flat. Jewel on black velvet... alights the night sky, a white "pearl" within the cloudy and black "sea" of the sky. Unchanged, as it's always the moon, but ever changing, as we see different amounts of it each night. Altar of Lupine lords, well, wolves howl to the moon, almost religiously, you could say.

[asyluman]

Lupine is a wolf, stupid. Full moon.
