A Little Book of Filipino Riddles - The Original Classic Edition. Starr Frederick

Riddles are common to all mankind. They delighted the old Aryans and the ancient Greeks as they do the modern Hindu and the Bantu peoples of darkest Africa. Many writers have defined the riddle. Friedreich in his Geschichte des Räthsels, says: ?The riddle is an indirect presentation of an unknown object, in order that the ingenuity of the hearer or reader may be exercised in finding it out.... Wolf has given the following definition: the riddle is a play of wit, which endeavors to so present an object, by stating its characteristic features and peculiarities, as to adequately call it before the mind, without, however, actually naming it.? <p> If you want a bunch of fun and entertaining riddles to share with children and grownups, this is your book! Highly recommended if you want to see your loved ones giggle, smile and laugh.
