I was going thru a garden catalog yesterday and saw a large sieve which
was called a riddle. So I thought that was intriguing. Pen-sieve/riddle.
Here's another definition of riddle
(from Old English roedel, from roedan meaning "to give council" or "to
read"): A universal form of literature in which a puzzling question or a
conundrum is presented to the reader. The reader is often challenged to
solve this enigma, which requires ingenuity in discovering the hidden
meaning. A riddle may involve puns, symbolism, or unusual imagery.
I leave this to more imaginative thinkers today.
