Here is a riddle for you. I took this from a conversation Bilbo Baggins had with Gollum in The Hobbit.
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
Poor Bilbo sat in the dark thinking of all the horrible names of all the giants and ogres he had ever heard told of in tales, but not one of them had done all of these things. What do you think the answer is?
Next week I will have the answer, unless of course you know it.
