Riddles In The Dark
4
This chapter I remember hating as a kid. It was also my first real exposure to riddles. I read this chapter at age 12 and like holding your breath for an underwater scene; I tried to answer the riddles before reading the answer like my life depended on it. What if I was in the same situation, would I live? I remember thinking most of the riddles in this chapter didn't make any sense to me. And now I am re-reading this as an adult who is a little better with riddles, here is what bothered me the most:
"Thirty white horses on a red hill,
first they champ,
then they stamp,
then they stand still.
TEETH?! the answer is teeth?
I am so upset by this; I just googled the riddles and I don't even see this one in the cliff notes? what is wrong with me...
