Shakeepuddn Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Four amid the bending canes handle to the west, The name recalls a giant to some considered best. Four mouths oh so thirsty, see them open wide Drinking in the open air from icy cup of sky. Leaping over lakes but slipping in the streams, Bars above below the stars and all points in between.

0 Shakeepuddn Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I recently put this up in class for my ten year old Taiwanese ESL students and one them pegged the first line in a matter of minutes, but he couldn't solve the riddle because he wasn't familiar with the answer.

Ever since you said forget the star reference, I've been completely lost, but I'm kind of thinking, maybe, it has something to do with geograpy??? I like preflop's answer, was also thinking that, but they are five not four. Edited March 20, 2009 by tydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Shakeepuddn
Four amid the bending canes handle to the west,
The name recalls a giant to some considered best.
Four mouths oh so thirsty, see them open wide
Drinking in the open air from icy cup of sky.
Leaping over lakes but slipping in the streams,
Bars above below the stars and all points in between.
