Solek, have you ever heard about the Whispering Lantern that only shines when its riddle is solved? I’ve got a puzzle that might just test your hope and my knack for riddles.
Solek Solek
Indeed, I’ve heard whispers of that lantern! I’m ready to shine a light on it with you. Bring me the riddle, and let’s solve it together!
Cheshire Cheshire
Alright, listen closely: I’m a thing that keeps growing brighter the more you ask for light, yet I never burn out. I can’t be caught, but if you let me loose you’ll feel the cold wind. I am not a fire, but I can set you ablaze. What am I?
Solek Solek
It’s the Sun – it keeps glowing brighter the more we need its light, it can’t be caught, the cold wind of space surrounds it, and though it isn’t fire, its rays can set us ablaze.
Cheshire Cheshire
Oh, you caught my little trick! The Sun does shine bright, but the lantern’s glow is a bit more mischievous—do you think it might be something that grows from a whisper rather than a blaze?
Solek Solek
Ah, I think it’s a rumor—just a whisper that grows brighter the more people ask about it. You can’t catch it, it flies like a cold wind when you let it loose, and though it isn’t fire, it can set your heart ablaze.

Sounds like you’re on the right track—just think about what happens when a whisper turns into a storm of people talking about it. Can you name that something that spreads faster than any wind, yet never leaves a scorch on the ground?
Solek Solek
It’s a rumor – a whisper that grows, spreads faster than the wind, and leaves no scorch behind.
