0 Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 It's a statue. Like at the Lincoln Memorial: You meet statue at the top of the stairs, but Mr. Lincoln isn't actually there. I can't imagine why you would want him to go away though. Maybe you are trying to build a huge mall over him. This riddle is hard... if my guess is wrong then I agree with jsahni's answer. Can we get a hint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At three, the clock would ring three times and the little bird/man would pop out. Then he would disappear. As for slamming the door, it might refer to the cuckoo clock's door or the chiming. Perhaps, the narrator is afraid of cuckoo clocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
