English is not my native language, so I can't be sure, but I believe that "peoples" doesn't really mean anything. It is an incorrect form of the word. Anyway, I haven't seen it in any book or anywhere like that...

Symbolism of number One English is not my native language, so I can't be sure, but I believe that "peoples" doesn't really mean anything. It is an incorrect form of the word. Anyway, I haven't seen it in any book or anywhere like that... It's a word meaning something like 'multiple cultures' or something. and Goldiepirate, your second riddle is 'Dictionary'

Which word in the English language becomes shorter when it is lengthened?
The answer to my riddle is short.
New riddle!
A man was going to buy a car for $35,000. When he purchased the car, however, he did not pay a penny for it. How is this possible?

His wife paid for him?
Or whatever... He could have been the lucky 1000th customer and got it for free. He could have used a credit card and thus not "pay a penny". This could have like... 100 different answers.

Yorozuya_Harujiro has the right Idea. He did not pay a penny, he payed $35,000.

I've a riddle or two, to guess if you can.
Black we are, and much admired;
Men seek us out if they are tired.
We tire the horse, but comfort man.
Tell me this riddle if you can.
And another:
Old Mother Twitchet had one eye,
And a long tail that she let fly,
And every time she went through a gap...
She left a bit of her tail in the trap.

For the first riddle, I say a carriage.
the second, I guess a needle and thread.
What does man love more than life Fear more than death or mortal strife What the poor have, the rich require, and what contented men desire, What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves And all men carry to their graves?

Nothing is the answer you seek.
If a rooster laid a brown egg and a white egg, what kind of chicks would hatch?

LOL, roosters don't lay eggs. We already had a similar riddle.

Lightwater2520 For the first riddle, I say a carriage. the second, I guess a needle and thread. I'm afraid that, whilst you answered the second riddle correctly, the answer to the first is not, in fact, a carriage.

That would be correct.
How about this one?
Round like an apple,
Deep like a cup,
Yet all the king's horses
Can't pull it up.

Yes. Coal, at least a long time ago, used to be used to keep a house warm, and after having sat in the fire would be put at the feet (for those who were richer) in special pans during the night to keep one's feet warm.
