1. The wind , especially during storms. I can see how it moves the trees.
2. The letter “m”
3. My shadow. – more noticeable during sunny days
4. The wall
5. Footsteps.
1. The wind.
2. The letter M.
3. Your conscience?
4. An annoying, but careful bird.
5. A successful boxer’s punches.
1. WIND – Wind is merely the movement of air, thus invisible. The sound of wind is mainly the result of friction. Lastly, the effects of wind can be seen in our everyday lives. For example,the wind blows the leaves hither and thither during autumn.
2. THE LETTER ‘M’ – The letter “m” is appears once in “Minute” and twice in “MoMent” as indicated by the capital letters. However, the letter ‘m’ does not appear in a “thousand years”.
3. YOUR NAME – Your name follows you wherever you go. Names are words, words have no weight or mass. Thus it cannot become less heavy. My first thought was shadow, but then I noticed the keyword “everywhere” in the riddle. Shadows are only visible where light is present. Moreover, contrary to the popular belief, shadows do have a mass and can be subjected to a change in their “heaviness”.
4. SUNLIGHT – Sunlight can go around the house since the sun moves across the sky throughout the day. Sunlight can enter the house in a variety of ways, ranging from windows to small crevices in walls. An important thing to note is that the “sun” is the wrong answer. The sun is in the sky. If the sun came inside a house…well that would be unpleasant.
5. FOOTSTEPS – If you ever walk on snow or in mud, you are likely to leave footprints. Footprints are merely the impression of one’s footsteps on a surface. The more footsteps you take, the more footprints you are likely to leave behind, thus they are directly proportionate to each other.
1) The wind
2) The letter m (was very similar to the riddle from the “Riddle Quest” episode on Arthur) 🙂
3) Your name – but what if a person does not have a name?
4) Sunlight (or the sun)
5) Footsteps
Riddles remind me of that one Dora episode where Boots was so into riddles…
RIDDLE FROM THE EPISODE: Who can jump higher than the mountain (or something of the sort)
ANSWER FROM THE EPISODE: Everyone can, because mountains can’t jump! 🙂
* Wind/Breeze
* M
* Your name ?
* Light/sunlight
* Footsteps/prints
1) Wind
2) Letter M
3) Your name
4) Sunlight
5) Footsteps
There are the generic answers to these riddles:
1. The wind
2. The letter “M”
3. Your name
4. Sunlight
5. Footsteps
But I thought, I would try something a little different:
1. People’s words – you hear them, you see how they make peeople happy or break their hearts and you can’t see them.
2. The letter M is the only answer I had for this one.
3. You carry around your attitude everywhere. You can bring people down or encourage them and make them happy with your attitude, but your attitude is never heavy.
4. The love of the family in the house. They love each other when they’re in the house and when they’re in the yard. The loving atmosphere never physically touches the house.
5. The more hearts you comfort and help, the more hearts you leave behind to help you when you need them.
1. The wind
2. The letter m
3: Your name
4. Light
5. Footsteps
1. An unrequited crush.
2. The letter “m.”
3. Anticipation of the closest Friday.
4. “And it’s not enough to tell me that you care / When we both know the words are empty air” – Sweet Nothing.
5. Wishes and bad ideas.
