2 RIDDLES Can't Post



Correct guesses win Apple-tarts !!

1.

Unusually wary and sharp of ear,
And fleet of foot when danger is near.
Yet these were slain 3019 the year,
Without ceremony nor even a bier.
It’s said some must die so that other may live-
On the seventh of March their lives they did give.

2.

No drouth at its mouth
For its mouth was the shunt,
And a way for the spray
To get to the front.

Same answer for both? [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm pretty sure the answer to the first riddle is: Oliphaunts.

I don't know about the second unless it is the same (with the spray coming from the trunk).

March 7 is the clue, I guess. [In reply to] Can't Post

1. Conies - indeed Sam had no beer on hand.
2. Henneth Annun.

Apple-tarts for squire [In reply to] Can't Post

For #1 - Connies, and chuckles for "beer" Wink

Henneth Annun seems to work well for #2, but I had another in mind. But apples tarts for your answer.... Smile

There is another [In reply to] Can't Post

but not necessarily better answer to #2.

No drouth at its mouth
For its mouth was the shunt,
And a way for the spray

Riddle #2 [In reply to] Can't Post

No drouth at its mouth
For its mouth was the shunt,
And a way for the spray
To get to the front.

Squire's answer - Henneth Annun seems to work well but...

I had in mind "The Deeping Wall" (The only "break" in the Wall was the culvert (mouth) through which the Deeping Stream flowed.
