I can be huge. Or unusually small. Kids use me daily. Makes tales that are tall. I can be real. Or just a nice dream. If you just use this thing. Real - anything could seem. I could be a monster. Or an invention of times. You can use me to think of ideas. Or plot out huge crimes. Without me, you're dull. Just don't even try. I just have one more thing left. Do you know who am I?  |

Answer
The phoenix!
The phoenix, in mythology, is a fabulous bird that periodically regenerated itself, used in literature as a symbol of death and resurrection. According to legend, the phoenix lived in Arabia; when it reached the end of its life (500 years), it burned itself on a pyre of flames, and from the ashes a new phoenix arose. As a sacred symbol in Egyptian religion, the phoenix represented the sun, which dies each night and rises again each morning. According to Herodotus, the bird was red and golden and resembled an eagle.

Female kangaroos carry their young (joeys) in a pouch. Likewise, kangaroo words contain another word (a joey) within themselves. A joey word is a synonym of the kangaroo word, and the letters must be in the same order. Example: "rapscallion" contains the word "rascal": RApSCALlion See if you can find the joey words in these kangaroo words: 1. exists 2. deceased 3. barren 4. precipitation 5. prematurely See if you can find two joey words in this kangaroo word: 6. feasted  |

My rings tell such a story Of years past with gracious glory Where I live is where I stay From that spot I cannot stray From my home man taketh me So they can erect another home, you see Many others bore into my sides These things that crawl and things that glide I weep with beauty or stand with grace Every year I shed myself to nourish my place What am I?  |

Post by Kimmy on Sept 27, 2020 9:12:33 GMT
Answer I am a tree. My rings are produced every year, just one, and how large it is tells a story of how that particular year was. Where I grow is where I stay, as I cannot pick up and move. Men cut me down to make their own homes, and creatures such as birds and squirrels live in me. When I shed my leaves they put nutrients into the ground which keep it fertile.
