Mail Time

Ichigo paced around in his room he was irritated that his zanpakuto was stolen and now to get it back he had to solve this stupid riddle and it was not just one it was two of them he had to solve.

“The thief had better never show his face around me or I will...” Ichigo growled as he read the riddle once more.

“He has no feet, yet travels far; literate, but no scholar he; no mouth, yet he clearly speaks. If you know him, you are wise.” He read aloud in his room. “Agggg this is so annoying!” Ichigo sat to the bed and thought.

“It has no feet, but it travels far. It is no scholar, but literate. It speaks, but has no mouth, and if I know it I am wise.”

Just then, he heard his sister call out to him, “Ichigo! Will you go get the mail?”

Ichigo drug himself from the bed and walked downstairs and out the front door to get the mail. He was looking through it when it dawned on him. “It has no feet but travels far. Mail has no feet but travels far, but what about, ‘No scholar but literate and speaks but no mouth’?” Ichigo paused at the door just before he opened it. “A letter has words making it literate and speaks with no mouth. It’s a letter! It has to be a letter!”

Ichigo through open the door and marched in proud that he solved the riddle. He set the mail to the counter and turned. His sister walked over picking it up.

“Ichigo? Is this yours?”

In her hand she held a small folded piece of paper. Ichigo turned and snatched the paper out of her hand, “My second riddle!”

He dashed up the stairs to his room once more leaving his sister in the living room with a bewildered look on her face.
