RIDDLES
“Three eyes have I, all in a row; when the red one opens, all freeze.” The answer is traffic light.
“What animal walks on all fours in the morning, two in the afternoon and three in the evening?” The answer is man, since he crawls as a child then walks and uses a cane when he gets older.
What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps? A river.
I have a tail, and I have a head, but i have no body. I am NOT a snake. What am I? A coin.
What falls, but does not break, and what breaks but does not fall? Night falls and day breaks.
PROVERBS
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder” – (this means that when you separate from someone that you love by putting distance between you that you will inevitably love them more and yearn to see them.)
"All that glitters is not gold” – (this means that just because something looks good, does not necessarily mean that it is good.)
"A monkey in silk is a monkey no less” – (this means that just because someone dresses fancy does not necessarily mean that they are fancy or of good character.)
“The old horse in the stable still yearns to run” – (this means that those who are older still have things they would like to accomplish.)
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” – (this means that teaching people is better in the long run because it gives them the skills to provide for themselves as opposed to you doing things for them.)
