Brain Teasers
One by One We Come to Life
One by one we come to life,
Then side by side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come early, some come late);
Some of us may bore you,
And some of us enthrall,
But you cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all.
We'll be bound together tightly
For we're naught if we break free.
If you would like to know about us,
Then answer : WHAT ARE WE?
Then side by side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come early, some come late);
Some of us may bore you,
And some of us enthrall,
But you cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all.
We'll be bound together tightly
For we're naught if we break free.
If you would like to know about us,
Then answer : WHAT ARE WE?

A fantastic riddle, but I have the feeling a certain Ms. Rowling may be upset with you for copying.
I knew it involved a book, I thought it was pages. Chapters works just as well.
lol i know i didnt write it, i just thought i would share it with u all
even if you didn't write it, it's a great one!!!!
*Slow clapping*
Good job

Thought of atoms... we are nothing if we break free... you must take us one and all... but it doesn't work for some things like "some of us may bore you and some of us enthrall." Good teaser!
Just out of curiousity, did you get this riddle from the JK Rowling website? Because she has the same one when you open the door.
why can't I choose betwen them? I do it all the time. I thought it was movie preveiws anyways.
I thought for a moment that the answer was maybe new born babies. because if:
One by one we come to life (baby being born)
Then side by side we wait (baby waiting in that room with all those little Baby beds waiting for their parents to come and get them)
While our company swells in numbers (all of the family coming to visit the newborn baby)
Some come early and some late (some babys come prematurely and some come later than expected)
Some of us may bore you(I don't know about this one)
And some of us enthrall (I don't know about this one either)
But you cannot choose between us (You must take the baby that you birthed)
You must take us one and all (if you have sextuplets you must take them all home)
And i couldn't think of any way tto tie babys into the rest of it but tall me what you think.

I thought of articles in a newspaper, which is pretty similar. I liked it though!!!
