Riddle: Never resting, never still. Moving silently from hill to hill. It does not walk, run or trot. All is cool where it is not.
Answer: Sunshine
Riddle Explanation + Meaning
Sunshine is the light and warmth that comes from the sun.
It is always moving across the sky, even when we can't see it, like during the night or on cloudy days.
Sunshine doesn't have legs or a body, so it can't walk, run, or trot, but it moves across the Earth from hill to hill as the Earth rotates.
Wherever sunshine touches, it brings warmth, making things warmer than where it is not shining.
This is why the riddle says, "All is cool where it is not."
It's because places in the shadow or during the night are cooler compared to where the sunshine is directly hitting.
This clever riddle uses the characteristics of sunshine to create a mystery about something that is present in our daily lives but might not be immediately thought of as moving or living.
