The following riddle is not mine. I saw it in a shop that shares weekly riddles for people to solve. I solved this in around five minutes, so it should be relatively easy. I am sharing this because I quite love the writing style. Also, despite the similar title, this is not a duplicate... well, not the riddle itself, to say the least...






Three things am I:




Gentle enough to soothe your skin;
Light enough to caress the sky;
Hard enough to crack rocks.




The answer is not three things, as I first thought. It is just one thing that has these three properties. Hope you enjoy! :D

  • Hahah! I received $3000$ rep, got a little bit over, gave away $100$ rep for a bounty, got a little bit under... and now I'm back on exactly $3000$ again. Thank you, @upvoter! Although I don't care too much about rep (sorry rep), it feels kinda good to have $3000$ :P

I've seen the other answers but I also thought this might be applicable:




balm/bomb




Line 1:




balm is spread on skin for soothing/therapeutic purposes




Line 2:




bombs are lifted into the sky and dropped from above




Line 3:




when they detonate, bombs destroy most things around them, including rocks

Same answer as most others here, but I thought like this:




Water




Gentle enough to soothe your skin;




Taking a bath or shower.




Light enough to caress the sky;




Clouds slowly moving across the sky.




Hard enough to crack rocks.




When water seeps into cracks in the mountain and then freezes, it expands and can crack rocks, called freeze-thaw.







share|improve this answer






















  • That is a good explanation. I mean, clouds are made of water (vapour) at the end of the day, and clouds are light; though that freeze-thaw explanation is pretty good. I never knew about that, so that is very interesting! $(+1)$ :D

    That is a good attempt. I like how they also kind of sound the same, too, haha. I would have upvoted if I did not reach my daily voting limit (DVL), but apart from that, great answer! :D

Same answer as most others here, but I thought like this:




Water




Gentle enough to soothe your skin;




Taking a bath or shower.




Light enough to caress the sky;




Clouds slowly moving across the sky.




Hard enough to crack rocks.




When water seeps into cracks in the mountain and then freezes, it expands and can crack rocks, called freeze-thaw.

  • That is a good explanation. I mean, clouds are made of water (vapour) at the end of the day, and clouds are light; though that freeze-thaw explanation is pretty good. I never knew about that, so that is very interesting! $(+1)$ :D
