It is this: Which animal walks on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon and on three legs in the evening?
The story is that there was once in ancient Greece, a monster guarding a narrow passage between two mountains. It stopped every one who passed and asked them that riddle. Alas no one could find the answer and they all got slain and devoured..
But one day a young, hansome, brave prince was passing and the monster stoped him and asked him the same riddle. The prince easily found the answer; where upon the monsrer threw itself from the mountain and died.
If any one has heard or read the answer to the riddle, please wait a week before writing and if he/she remembers the names of the monster and or the prince, please remind me.
