nature to make a wild guess.

a riddle.

• An English riddle can not only add much fun
  to our life but also provide us with a new way
  to learning new words, by exercising our wits and
  satisfying our curiosity.

5
But we may find it is not easy to come up with
the right answer to each riddle.

• Before making a guess at riddles here, we
  should know the technique (??) of using a pun in
  a riddle.

6
What is a pun?
7
A pun is a humorous use of two different words
which sounds the same.

• For example, in the following riddle, In
  which country are their people always shaking
  their heads?

8
The answer is In Norway, because Norway
sounds No way.
9
Moreover, a pun is also a humorous use of two
meanings of the same word.

• For example, in the following riddle, Which
  one is the richest in the world?

10
The answer is A river, because a river has 2
banks! And the word bank has two meanings.
