Guest Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 So...first riddle. It's really easy , and I made it during one my classes so...yeah. Gotta start somewhere and harder riddles will come later. Hope it's not solved in one post though... There's many of me of that I'm sure. Of any shape and size. During need I'm at your leisure Should the moment arise. I grow sometimes to meet the leaves I shrink to meet demands. I'm like a dog that's meant to retrieve Except I don't have hands. During holidays I'm brought out, And make things rather bright. On those days I'd like to shout, I'm the bringer of the light There are those who would make bets, That I'm a danger to you. Spilling black reflections indoors wet, For shame, it's all untrue. Come on, I'm not that rare at all Believe me I wouldn't lie. But you shouldn't stand too very tall Unless you'd like to DIE!

0 Guest Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 mmm i think it's electricity... the "i grow sometimes..." refers to the electricity poles on streets.. and the "i shrink to..." refers to batteries right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hmm...perhaps electricity would be the good alternative, and the third paragraph seems to relate too well, but not the answer. The other paragraphs might bring you higher to the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MissKitten Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 The letter L? Or maybe the letter I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) The letter L? Or maybe the letter I? Hahaha. Nice try. My bad about the previous clue. "indoors wet" is part of the group that they all have in common. It's just that it those two words are together as a single entity.

0 MissKitten Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah, that was a very wild guess at best... I shall mull over this one in my sleep and come up with a better answer tomorrow. Don't worry, for a first riddle, this is awesome! I remember my first one. I do believe it was solved in, like, 2 posts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 really wild guessi know it doesn't fit everyth but here goes... glass??:S and for a first riddle this is pretty gd ... hats off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 just thought of someth okay i first thought kite... but that made nooo sense... then i thought light projectors... you know like the ones in concerts and theaters and stages... i still think this is wrong cause it doesn't satisfy everyth but what the heck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Good guesses Guppy , but not the answer . And step and step and step I go, All the way up, all the way down. If you'd speak the title you would know, That I am just a noun (And yes the last line of hint was kinda just thrown in there to rhyme ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thalia Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) When I first read the title, I misread it thinking it said chutes so I thought ladders. Not sure how it fits everything though. Actually, after reading it again, it does make more sense. Edited December 5, 2011 by Thalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
So...first riddle. It's really easy
, and I made it during one my classes so...yeah. Gotta start somewhere and harder riddles will come later. Hope it's not solved in one post though...
There's many of me of that I'm sure.
Of any shape and size.
During need I'm at your leisure
Should the moment arise.
I grow sometimes to meet the leaves
I shrink to meet demands.
I'm like a dog that's meant to retrieve
Except I don't have hands.
During holidays I'm brought out,
And make things rather bright.
On those days I'd like to shout,
I'm the bringer of the light
There are those who would make bets,
That I'm a danger to you.
Spilling black reflections indoors wet,
For shame, it's all untrue.
Come on, I'm not that rare at all
Believe me I wouldn't lie.
But you shouldn't stand too very tall
Unless you'd like to DIE!
