Here’s the second riddle in my celebration series after reaching 50 subscribers. What is the answer to this riddle? Have a guess down below.
My father and mother abandoned me in this world, while I was dead. There was as yet no life, no being in me.
Then a very kindly wife covered me with her clothes. Kept me, cherished me and canopied me with a protective covering, as fittingly for her own child.
I became to my unrelated kindred a kin of spirit. This beautiful wife continued to feed me, until I grew mature and could set my paths further afield.
She had fewer beloved sons and daughters because she did so.
A dandelion seed in a garden.
I believe you are a caterpillar/butterfly.
I'll admit I'm stymied by the beautiful wife. I'm tempted to say it is a tree, with perhaps the 'fewer sons and daughters' being a result of harboring/nourishing something that feeds upon her.
