0 rsn Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Solved by Clinton A Goliath am I a descendent from old (Large and descendents of Mammoths) I run around wild but can do all my chores (Elephants are domesticate to lift loads or perform in the circus) From paper to paintings my extras in few (Dung used to make paper and ivory is used in miniature paintings) Am large when old and small when new (Baby elephants are smaller ) To take me home you have that choice Your answer could be reason for me to rejoice (If you say no to ivory products the elephants would be happier) Being near me could make you queasy (have you ever tried it ) So find 'who am I' its definitely easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shakeepuddn Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Considered that but tripped over the take me home part. Presumed the wrong answer! Good riddle, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rsn Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Considered that but tripped over the take me home part. Presumed the wrong answer! Good riddle, thanks. I had hope that the queasy part would help every one make the right choice my first cut said 'if you say no it would be reason for me to rejoice' but then decided to leave a little for interpretation i'm glad you liked it .. means a lot to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 yes thanx rsn for the great riddle, i have to admit that although my first intuition last day was elephant, my reasoning today differed from yours: A Goliath am I a descendent from old (Large and descendents of Mammoths)yes I run around wild but can do all my chores -(Elephants are 'handy' with their trunks) From paper to paintings my extras in few -(fasinating pictures to beautiful paintings on silk of Indian elephant scene) Am large when old and small when new (Baby elephants are smaller )check To take me home you have that choice - (the expession 'elephant in the room' indicates that there is an obvious truth that people either don't see or want to discuss...or a secret perhaps...) Your answer could be reason for me to rejoice -(to find the truth and 'get things out in the open' would make it obvious, a relief) Being near me could make you queasy -(the truth or the obvious is not always easy to stomach, and yes the mass and power of an elephant probably would make me queasy!) So find 'who am I' its definitely easy I think it just goes to show how multi-leveled your riddle was!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interpretation is definitely better than mine.. with your (in the room) quote I had realized your way of thinking.. but as i had said to Wilson.. my riddle was no were near this insightful.. hope to do better next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have thought of a white elephant! ( The elephant in the room is new to me--- I had heard it as the 800 lb. Gorilla) Hurray Clinton!
