The Legend of The Sphinx 🦁🔍
✨Welcome to another thrilling tale from By Kids For Kids Story Time!✨ Today, we venture to ancient Egypt and meet a fearsome creature called the Sphinx, a beast that terrorizes travelers with her impossible riddle! 🌌🦁 Will anyone be clever enough to solve her puzzle and set the town of Thebes free? Let’s find out! 🧠✨
The Sphinx was no ordinary monster. She had the body of a lion and the head of a wicked woman, lurking on the only path to Thebes. Every traveler who wanted to pass had to answer her tricky riddle or face a terrible fate. 😱 One brave young man named Oedipus stumbled upon the Sphinx’s lair, not knowing the danger ahead. But when confronted with her riddle, he proved to be cleverer than the Sphinx ever imagined! 🧠💪
A Riddle That Saved a City 🌟🧠
When the Sphinx asked her riddle, "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three in the evening?" Oedipus thought carefully. 🧐 He realized the answer was humans, who crawl as babies, walk on two legs as adults, and use a cane in old age. 🧓 His clever answer defeated the Sphinx, who leapt off the cliff in anger, and the people of Thebes were finally free! 🎉
