Huh. I wonder if the actual answer is better than the one I gave?
How about this riddle?
Metaphors, by Slyvia Plath
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

Answer:3. I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?
Answer:
[sblock]Sand.[/sblock]
I don't get it.
Build up castles; okay, yeah, that's clever and funny!
Tear down mountains?
Make some men blind; well, temporarily.
Help others to see?
I didn't write the riddle, but I would guess:[sblock]Erosion, perhaps?[/sblock]Still trying to work out the "tear down mountains" part.
Correct on the Sylvia Plath poem.
[sblock]I assume sand is intended to tear down mountains via erosion, but I like my original answer better.[/sblock]
Here's an ancient riddle:
Whelm over wave, a weird thing I saw:
Water turned to bone.
