Orb of All Knowing
The Seekers of Knowledge were in a bit of a jam. They encountered a very powerful and magical item, the Orb of All Knowing. Sid did his research well, or so it seemed. What he did not know from all the information he had gathered on the Orb, is that one must answer a riddle before it will answer your question. This bit of information was not in the books.
There they stood, the 5 of them, facing the Orb. The Orb was greenish and a perfect sphere, the size of 2 fists put together. It had a yellowish glow around it, which seemed to pulsate, like a heartbeat.
Sid approached the Orb, and began to speak, but the Orb began speaking first.
The Orb said, "Before I answer your question, you must first answer mine." A silence filled the room as the group looked at one another in shock.
The Orb began to speak once more,
"From soil, I am made.
With me, kids will play.
I do not speak of sand,
for that is not my plan.
Add some water,
and the mothers will complain."
