    and strong man as he was when he went into the house he fell in a faint. Next day he went over to the crossroads and he could not see any trace of blood or blood-shed.

    Riddles
    There was a man
    He had no eyes
    He went out one day to view the skies
    He saw a tree with apples on it
    He took no apple off it nor he left no apples on it.
    He took one apple off it and he left one on it.
    What is it that goes over by night and comes back by day.
    The fire
    What never was and never will be
    Look at your hand and plain you will see.
