Sorry, I don't understand how sand can help someone see... Does that part have something to do with making glass???
Cool riddle!!!!!!
Yes i agree how can sand help you see?
Lots of glasses (the kind you put on your face) are made of glass and sand makes glass (or is at least one of the materials).
I was thinking God lol but sand is a correct assumption
thanks great teaser
thanks great teaser
God can do anything, but he is an answer to many riddles. Sand has talent for that.(undersand God!)
Well, you know there are lots of tricks to put "god can do anything" to rest, in my opinion. I don't think god is all powerful or omnipotent, but rather has it's own limits as do we.
Example, (i'm sure a lot of you have heard it hehe) "Could god make a rock so heavy even god could not lift it?"
Dilemma!
But, apart from that, I didn't understand the sand part either till I read these comments. But afterwards, you can see it's a clever riddle!
I suppose we just assumed that it meant to enable a BLIND person to see, not just a person
Just goes to show, never assume, eh?

sand can enable a man to see. means, a person who is blind gets a glass eye inserted. and the glass from the eye is made of sand. clever huh
