>> Here is a perplexing riddle. See if you can figure it out....
>>
>> God made Adam out of the dust,
>> But thought it best to make me first;
>> So I was made before the man,
>> According to God's Holy plan.
>> My whole body God made complete
>> Without arms or hands or feet.
>> My ways and acts did God control,
>> But in my body He placed no soul.
>> A living being I became,
>> And Adam gave to me a name.
>> Then from his presence I withdrew,
>> For this man Adam I never knew.
>> All my Maker's laws I do obey,
>> And from these laws I never stray.
>> Thousands of me go in fear,
>> But seldom on the earth appear.
>> Later, for a purpose God did see,
>> He place a living soul in me.
>> But that soul of mine God had to claim,
>> And from me took it back again.
>> And when this soul from me had fled,
>> I was the same as when first made;
>> Without arms, legs, feet, or soul,
>> I travel on from pole to pole.
>> My labors are from day to night,
>> And to men I once furnished light.
>> Thousands of people both young and old,
>> Did by my death bright lights behold.
>> No right or wrong can I conceive;
>> The Bible and it's teachings I can't believe.
>> The fear of death doesn't trouble me;
>> Pure happiness I will never see.
>> And up in Heaven I can never go,
>> Nor in the grave or Hell below.
>> So get your Bible and read with care;
>> You'll find my name recorded there.
>>
>> This puzzle was written by a lady in California in 1890 in response
>> To a gentlemen in Philadelphia, who said that he would pay $1,000.00 to
>> anyone who could write a puzzle that he could not solve. He failed
>> to do so, and paid the lady 1,000.00 (a great sum at that time). The
>> answer is one word, five letters long, and appears only four times in
>the
>> King James Version of the Bible.
>>
>> An eight-year-old boy figured out the puzzle. Can you?
