Sharon how are you to know it was me who gave you a thumbs down? I believe there are 14 people who answered this question. In future I'd appreciate you not to accuse me.

the human being a baby crawls on all fours, the morning represents the early stages in mans life, an adult in the afternoon as he can walk on both legs, afternoon represents the middle years, three legs is the od man with a walking stick, hence three legs the evening represents the later years in life, this is a very old riddle! and hard to fathom out!

That was the riddle posed by the Sphynx to Oedipus as recorded by Sophoclese. The answer is man - he crawls in the morning (as a baby), walks on two legs at noon (the middle of his life), and uses a cane to walk as an old man (the evening / twilight of life).

It's the riddle of the Sphinx. Anyone who tried to pass the Sphinx had to answer that riddle and whoever couldn't was cast down over the edge of the cliff.
The answer is: Man. A man (mankind) crawls on all fours as a child, walks on two feet as an adult, and uses a cane late in life.

A dog that walks into a grinder at lunchtime, but has the minor fortune of someone stapling one of the legs back on later.

It's the life of a person. Starts as baby, crawling on four. Then an adult on two. Then old on two with a walking stick makes three.
