What follows 2 days of rain?

Monday, of course!

[BadLeo]

Monday, of course!

:0 so true...

[vexx32]

Little square stones on a flat plain,

Clattering noisily and being driven in, on,

Down, only to be freed once again;

There is method in the haphazard commotion.

A thought, a sound, a sight, bound together,

Kept apart but one and the same forever,

Only one may guide the stone's clatter;

By necessity, no choice in the matter.

Good luck!

Sheeps? Or other animals?

[vexx32]

Nope. I was definitely not thinking sheep... that is a very curious take, though. I like it.

[cziken20]

Sugar? Crystals? Something in space?

[Lord_Potato]

Railroad spikes?

[vexx32]

Sugar? Crystals? Something in space?

Nope.

Railroad spikes?

Nope.

Here's the riddle again:

Little square stones on a flat plain,

Clattering noisily and being driven in, on,

Down, only to be freed once again;

There is method in the haphazard commotion.

A thought, a sound, a sight, bound together,

Kept apart but one and the same forever,

Only one may guide the stone's clatter;

By necessity, no choice in the matter.

[vexx32]

No to all three.

[vexx32]

A keyboard!

We have a winner!

[Red Iron Crown]

Guess that means it's my turn. An old one, don't know if it's been posted already:

What can only be kept after being given to another?

[Starwhip]

Hmm. Sounds like a secret... but how about something like friendship?

[Red Iron Crown]

Nope, but you're thinking along the right lines.

[Starwhip]

There are two ways to read that riddle:

What can only be kept after being given to another

What can only be kept after being given to another

I hate those kinds of questions. I have no idea which it is, and my mind is kind of burnt out at the moment.

[Red Iron Crown]

Your second reading is the right one, being given to another is a prerequisite for keeping. Sorry for the ambiguity.

[BadLeo]

It's a promise. But I have another way to think about it: one who really wants to do something doesn't needs to promise it.

[Red Iron Crown]

It's a promise. But I have another way to think about it: one who really wants to do something doesn't needs to promise it.

Close enough that I'll give it to you. It's "Your word". A promise is made, not given, but that's a semantic technicality.

[BadLeo]

Yeah, you're absolutely rigth. Promise is a verb, denotes an action, thus being something you do, you make. But the only pledge of the promise is the word, so...

My turn: what gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?
