Keywords: riddle; metaphor; imagination;
Summary/Abstract: The riddle is a game of metaphors and images; it stands out through words that blend perfectly, as in a puzzle, through the phonetic symbolism and sometimes through the inner rhyme in relation to creation. That's why the riddle is a mirror of the world in a realistic-popular view at the level of folk culture.
