The Riddle Stone Part 2

The Riddle Stone Part 2

Have you read Part 1? The Goblin King looked at the children. His small eyes glinted and he snapped his long, thin fingers. "How do you want to die?” he asked.

"We want to die of old age," said Hong. "Grrr! That is the right answer," said the Goblin King. "So I must let you go." He opened the door of the cage. "Brilliant!" said Chip. "But how did you know the right answer?” "I don’t know," said Hong. "I just did." "Let's find the next riddle," said Ty.

"The goblins still have the magic key," said Biff. "We must get it back." "Give us back our key," said Chip. "No," said a goblin. "We won't." "Give it back!" shouted Chip. "Make us!" called the Goblins. Hong had an idea. He spoke to the Goblin King.

"We will ask you a riddle," Hong said. "You must give us back the key if you can't answer it." "All right," said the Goblin King. "what is the riddle?” Hong wrote in the sand, 1+1=6. "Make this work by drawing a straight line," he said. The goblins scratched their heads. At last they said. "We can't do it."

Hong put a line on the 'plus’. "One, and one, and four add up to six!" said Hong "Very clever," said the Goblin King and he gave Biff the key. The children went on. At last, they came to a flat desert. There were strange shapes in the sky. Suddenly, the shapes flew down and whizzed over the children's heads.
