Welcome to the Dulverton Riddlers.
Start at the yew tree overlooking the school field just above the long jump pit.
 
Chapter one

The Riddlers Tale

Welcome one and welcome all
To my broad and brightest hall
A hall with neither roof nor floor
A hall without walls nor doors
A hall where all seasons meet
A hall where grass grows beneath your feet
A hall where daily weather unfolds
A hall where the nights are sharp and cold
A hall where the sky tops the ceiling
A hall with edges marked by railings

This is where I come to play
This is where the innocent stray
This is where I set the test
And I am the Wind and I come from the west.
But before we begin and make our introductions
I think it best you follow these instructions

Make a camera with your hands
And turn it up towards the sky
Find an animal in the clouds
It might be worm, walrus, fish or fly
And if the clouds have run away
Then frame tree bark or a crack in a wall
And spot your creatures shape today

Now in a moment of quiet reflection
Consider your creature with deep inspection
And imagine it sitting upon your palm
Quite content and very calm
Purring if pur it can
And happy to either sit or stand

(When all have an animal then we will progress)
Chapter two

The Wind is fickle the Wind is shrill
The Wind blows warm and the Wind blows chill
And on his path around the world
He stings the cheeks of all boys and girls
And he's stolen six innocent folk
Whose shapes were spotted in his cloak
These kidnapped creatures are now in cages
It's up to you to rescue in stages
He's snatched them from the world around
And sets you six riddles to confound

With a click and a flick of his glassy fist
Bolts of ice skewer the earth
Setting six cages strong
And trapping his prisoners inside the turf

Now cross quickly to your first container
Will the riddle be a no brainer?
But if this riddle be too complex
Then these prisoners will be lost to the test
And set to wander over icy plains
Where cockerels spin on weather veins
And the Wild West Wind chases about
And he whips up storms and delivers drought

So thinking caps on and smarts required
For the Wild West Wind wants you fired
And if you can't solve the riddles below
Then perhaps it's the cages that you'll go
And there you'll be trapped for a year and a day
Until that is the next come to play
And run the riddles set in this test
And try and save prisoners from the Wild West
Walk towards the long jump pit.

Oggy the owl

As you approach the cage you see a trapped owl. This owl looks very pretty - it has: brown and white fur; beautiful blue eyes ; orange and black beck and a small mouth.
He seemed kind of sweet at first but I didn't really know because I had never met him. The owl was staring at the sky which was a beautiful cyan with no clouds and a bright azure sun. The owl suddenly turned its head like he was really scared. He made a really cute face at me. I said : " Are you ok ? , what are you doing? , why are you here? "He couldn't talk so I didnt no why I should bother. He was looking starving hungry and thirsty. I needed help but what could I do? I had a brain wave - I called my friend and I said ' Can you come to Dulverton middle school and help me get a owl out of this cage?'.
" Yep sure see you in a min".My friend said. He thought of and idea he thought that the bird could peck the metal and break the bars so he could get out and fly away so when hi friend got there they did what he said. He got out and the owl was stood on top of the cage.
"Why don't you guess my riddle?" he squawked.
What is smelly and a shape shifter? You cant pick me up but you can use me to cook. I can change with each look and I carry a heath-warning.
What am I ?

Please help me work it out.' The boy replied ' OK read it out, I'd love to help you out.'
Guinness read his riddle to the boy.

The end

For every correct answer you give, the ice of their cage melts and the animal is set free.

How many were you able to free?

But the Wind is Wild
And he comes from the west
And he asks one last thing
for the end of his test
What were the beasts you saw in the sky
Was it Worm or Walrus or Fish or Fly?

Speak your animals out loud so the Wild West Wind can catch your breath.

And then Wild Wind is gone again to search for your folk
And snatch the ones you spotted in his cloak.
And gather them here for the next round of his test
To see if the new riddlers are as good as the last.
