Thread: A Lewis Carroll Riddle

    A Lewis Carroll Riddle

    Hey guys!

    I always liked Alice's adventures in wonderland (I have a bit of a soft spot for blondes ). The mad hatter, the red queen, the Cheshire cat, the freaky caterpillar: good stuff! Alice-Writer Lewis Carroll was a bit of a riddlelover and a math wizz, so he's left quite a few riddles. Some of them are kinda tricky, but here's an easy one of his:

    John gave his brother James a box:
    About it there were many locks.

    James woke and said it gave him pain;
    So gave it back to John again.

    The box was not with lid supplied,
    Yet caused two lids to open wide;A

    And all these locks had never a key-
    What kind of box, then, could it be?

    Good luck guys.
