Riddle Me This

While I’m on vacation, please enjoy this repeat of a top-upvoted post. Keep sending cute links to submissions@cutetropolis.com! — Mike

You approach a house. The gate is guarded by two beasts who will only let you enter if you solve their riddle. The first beast says “One of us tells naught but truth / The other naught but lies…” to which the second beast adds “Got any sausages?”

“Dammit, Kevin! You’re supposed to finish the poem!” says the first beast. “But I’m really hungry,” says Kevin. “Look, we are not having this conversation again! You have one line —  one stupid line — and all you can think about is lunch! You are not going to screw this up for me like the Sphinx gig, you hear me?”

The first beast lets out an exasperated sigh and says “Look, there’s a 7-Eleven on the corner, just go get him some links or something and you’re in. Don’t tell anyone.”

And a can of tuna, while you’re at it. What the hell.

I was never good at these puzzles anyway, Sharon H.

    Another one that I loved! It’s like a greatest hit album from your favorite band.

      I was just going to say, this is like getting our often-requested coffee table book, one page at a time! 😀

    Feh, Sphinxes, who needs em? If I wanted to get my head bitten off for failing to answer mysterious questions I’d create an account on tindr.

    The new me is all about birds of prophesy.

    I can never remember how to solve that riddle so I’ll happily pay in sausages and tuna.

    I don’t recall seeing this one at all so it’s new to me! Kitty was not happy when this pic was taken but still is a cutie.
