here's the riddle. I don't know if this was already given. I'll check it out. if it was, I'll change it or post a new one. XP
I herald the darkness which descends on all creatures;
You will know my approach by moans and wracked features.
I visit the hippo, hyena, and horse;
But never go near snails and spiders, of course.
I would circle the globe, leaping one to the other,
Should all the world's people ever clasp hands together.
Disease
I thought disease at first, but the animals that get mentioned keep throwing me off.....rats are assosiated with disease, yet they're not mentioned....plus hippo hyena and horse really have nothing to do with each other, other than the fact that they begin with the letter H.
Is it a fly?
I herald the darkness which descends all creatures......
a reference to death I think, flies are sure to be found where there are dead things.
You will know my approach by moans and wracked features.....
Not many people like flies near them, some are rather terrified of them.
I visit the hippo, hyena and horse.....
smelly animals that usually have flies buzzing round them.
But never go near snails and spiders of course.....
flies get eaten by spiders and I don't think they like getting slimed by snails.
I circle the globe leaping one to another......
They're pretty much everywhere.....
Should all the worlds people clasp their hands together?
No more being swatted away...?
Even if the answer's wrong, I'm still rather proud of this answer!
