Abstract
According to Dahl, a riddle is "an allegory or allusion, a roundabout speech, a bluff, a brief allegorical description of a subject, proposed for a solution." The most accurate definition of a riddle is V.P. Anikin: "A riddle is a poetic complex image of a thing or event, made to test the ingenuity of a person, as well as to instill a poetic view of reality." A riddle is a brief description of a silent object or phenomenon according to similar or suggestive signs of another object or phenomenon. A riddle develops a poetic view of reality in a person, creates an unlimited field for fantasy. So, it can be seen that a riddle is a poetically complex image of a thing or event, made in order to test a person's ingenuity and at the same time instill a poetic view of reality.
