Sunny Days
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I am as bright as the sunshine on a warm day,
I can go a long way.
I am seen on the young and the old that God made,
but I can fade.
I have only five letters in my name,
and I am painted on both the strong and the lame.
I can be as white as pearls,
or as yellow as blond curls.
I can never grow old,
or never be sold,
or turn to mold,
but I am more precious than gold.
What am I?

Answer
A smile. A smile is as bright as the sunshine, and a smile can go a long way. A smile is seen on the young and the old people, but it can fade. The strong and the weak can both smile. I can be as white as pearls because the teeth can be white, or I can be as yellow as blond curls, because the teeth can be yellow. A smile can never be old and you can't sell it, but it won't get moldy either. A smile is more precious than gold.Hide Answer Show Answer

THIS ONE IS OLDER THAN ME, IT'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER. I GUESS THEY NEVER CHANGE, SMILES THAT IS.
IT'S WHAT YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE ONE AND THEN (WHAT HAPPENS IS) THEY GIVE IT BACK.
SO THEY MULTIPLY AND LAST FOREVER. (SMILES THAT IS).

Nearly got it.... was thinking about teeth.... 5 letters too...teeth can fade away in someway too... but I just couldn't figure out about the way they would go! ;)
...and I smiled when I read the answer...
The answer made me smile, like this:
Very cute. I think you made everybody smile this morning. Not a negative comment yet.
I really needed one this morning. Your timing was perfect. Thanks!
Fantastic!!! A smile really got me going today!!! Thanks for sending it in!!!

Nice. And I actually got it, and no I never saw this riddle before. Thanks for the smile.
Pretty easy, but I still liked it. Made me smile
Uh, McDonald's has "smiles" on their menu, so obviously they can be sold.
Actually on the McDonalds sign it says that smiles are free, so therefore they are not sold.
Great teaser I didn't get it, but thats ok. LOL

Excellent. Enjoyed it.
how can a puzzle be daily--and comments are from days before? I am curious as I have often wondered how so many comments can be ahead of my reading. Anyway, again, this one was very good.
"Actually on the McDonalds sign it says that smiles are free, so therefore they are not sold."
Seriously, it was a joke; lighten up, girlfrieeeend!

I thought the answer was "Light" and I still think it is a good answer!
Enjoyed this one..between teeth and smile..smile won.
WHEN YOUR SMILING...tHE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU-- gOOD ONE!
I'm the same as GoodGuess... I thought it was "light" too!! However, this was a good teaser!!
that was a good poem, and it was pretty easy to guess...i got it after the "fade" part.
I was sure it was LIGHT. Bright as sun, yellow or white, goes a long way, can fade, shines on young or old, cannot get old or mold... it fits anyway. Electricity is sold to make light, but light also comes free in the forms of fire or the sun.
Nice teaser!
Nice teaser!
I was so sure it was light. I still think light is a better answer for that one, it's more fitting!
The best answer to this is light in my opinion.My husband is the 1st to say light right after i read it.Good one anyway.
I thought it was light also, good one
This is my first time voting or commenting--be gentle!!
I am not usually good at riddles, but I got this one as I finished it! Enjoyed it!!

Got this one right away. Good one - liked all the references...
I totally got this like right away! But I liked it anyways.
OMG! This is one of the first things you learn in life, from some of your better friends. Besides, if you start out with one, you should sprout new ones from strangers, quicker. Enjoyed the teaser, none the less.
A fantastic teaser! After trying light and teeth, I settled for smile after the last clue (precious). Not an easy teaser, but all would smile whether they get the right answer or not.
awww...thats cute...nice one...
Well I guess you could say some of this is a matter of opinion...but I pretty much agree with most of it as most of us would!!! Nice job!!
I LUV THIS TEASER!!!!!!
SMILES R AWESOME!!!!
(SEE? )
SMILES R AWESOME!!!!
(SEE? )
SMILES CAN'T BE SOLD! McDonalds smiles r free!!!!!!!!(IT SAYS SO ON THE MENU!!!!!)
Nice one!! I liked it! Made me SMILE!!!! Into my faves.
nice!
Smiles, why do so have to go a mile between them? Ha ha! Nice job. It was easy for me because I had heard something similar when I was younger. Mom always used to tell me to smile, people will give you back what you give. Nice teaser.
Awww, I didn't get this, so I'm not smiling. I thought it was LIGHT, though I thought that answer was probably too obvious. I'm just not so sure a smile is as bright as sunshine...
Ah well, I guess this is just another riddle I couldn't get. So many of those~!

What's with the mold part? Yuck! Did not care for this one! Sorry!
See one, give one.
I thought the answer was: LIGHT
liked it
some answers hyperbole , even misleading. I cant speak for others, however, if you provide me with a goodly amount of gold... I will forgive all frowns really
Nice poem; easy teaser, thanks! :
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it after the first five lines.
Fairly easy. Thanks for putting it together. Not my favorite, but I appreciate the work.
Why can't a smile can ever be old?
