    It has three legs in the evening .
    What is it ?
    The monster killed many people .Then one man succeeded in guessing the correct answer :It is a man .When a man is a baby (the morning of his life ),he crawls on hands and feet (four “l(fā)egs ”).When he is fully grown ,he walks on two feet .When he is old ,he walks with a stick ,so he has three “l(fā)egs ”.
    Questions like these are called “riddles ”.You will find them in all languages .Some are hard and some are easy .Here is an easy one :
    It has legs but cannot walk .What is it ?

    它是什么？
    有一個古老的關(guān)于一個怪物的希臘故事。它要求人們的一個問題。如果他們不能回答正確，它殺了他們！這是一個問題：
    它在早上四條腿。
    它具有在中午兩條腿。
    它有三條腿在晚上。
    這是怎么一回事？
    怪物殺了很多人。有一個人成功地猜測正確答案：這是一個男人。當(dāng)一個人是一個嬰兒（他生命的早晨），他爬在手和腳上（四“腿”）。當(dāng)他長大，他在兩只腳走路。當(dāng)他老了，他拄著拐杖走路，所以他有三的“腿”。
    這些問題都是所謂的“謎”。你會在所有語言中找到他們。有些是硬的，有些是容易的。下面是一個簡單的人：
    它有條腿卻不能走路。它是什么？
    這是一把椅子。你能想到其他回答這個謎嗎？
