    A colander. Or a sieve.

    There is a saying "Draw water with a sieve" which equals to a sisyphean job.

    Yep, a sieve it is. 29 bullets to you, Saurian.

    I'd just like to remind everyone, especially newcomers : no looking for the answer on the internet, that way everyone gets a chance. :)


    Riddle #27:

    I am one of the most splendid wonders of mother Nature. I am rich as King Midas and have a number of vibrant faces. The Sun is my father and rain is my mother. What am I?

    Nope, not a tree. But a good guess, that does fill most of the criteria... all but one...

    Nope, not the moon. This riddle isn't too "metaphorical". But that's the only hint! :)

    No, not rumor or gossip. This riddle has two simple parts, so try to fulfill both requirements in the answer...
