Riddle:
Whiling away the hours of flowers, Walking through fields of gold. Preening and pruning in lights fading hours, For petals to freeze in the cold. What is it?
Answer: "The Four Seasons" - Reasoning: This riddle takes the perspective of plant life during these times of the year, where each line represents one of the four seasons of the year; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Spring - where flowers are blooming - Summer - where fields of farm crop mature and turn golden in colour, before being harvested - Autumn - where the tree's shed their leaves and days grow shorter - and Winter - where the cold leaves frost and freezes plants.
