A cowboy rode to an inn on Friday.
He stayed there 2 days until Thursday.
How is that possible?
I didn't create this riddle,, btw. It's just a known riddle.

The cowboy's horse name is Friday.

Nice one, but can you solve riddles too? This is one of the oldest riddles in the Enlish language but with some thought it is not too hard to solve:

Christ, the commander, the true lord of victories,
ordained me for conflict. I burn the living,
unnumbered mortals, over all the earth.
I afflict them with pain, yet never I touch them,
whenever my lord bids me to battle.
Sometimes I gladden the minds of many;
sometimes I comfort those I make war on,
even from afar. They feel it, nonetheless,
the hurt and the healing, when now and again,
over deep tribulation, I better their fortunes.

I think it is a tree. They emerge from the ground and can become very tall. On the other hand when a tree pops up it is shorter than grass and a tree can have very long live-span a 'thousand years' if you wish. Am I correct? And did you find the answer to the old English riddle already?
 
  • #27
nope its taller than a tree its way more bigger than that if u compare it to each other the tree is the size of a toothpick
And no im not even know what the question is - -;
