Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week









Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store.  But, this week, again, I don't feel like it.

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go... No cheating...

I am always hungry,
I must always be fed,
The finger I touch,
Will soon turn red.



And the answer is...

FIRE.

Congratulations to Shawn for coming up with the right answer.  As for the rest of you...well...you're just too, too clever.  Thanks for all the chuckles!  Come back next Friday for another of "Mr. Punch's Puzzles."  Hooray!

Darcy, I think Homer Simpson is a good answer. But, I think he'd leave your finger yellow.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Dashwood, Russian Bear...I don't think he'll leave a finger at all.
