Riddle

These beasts appear to be very confusing and terrible communicators. However, they are very intelligent (some more than others) and love puzzles. Playing with riddles is a fantastic way to fill free hours of your time as you will be pleasantly surprised and entertained. This Riddle (which I tried to buckle down for you to see) was Gollum’s companion:

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

 

1. a question or statement so framed as to exercise one’s ingenuity in answering it or discovering its meaning; conundrum.
