Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Monday Edition | AM

Good morning

Good morning, and happy Monday, members! I (Ashlee) am so pleased to meet you! I joined the SDC team about two weeks ago now and have been learning so much about this wonderful community. I hope you all had a wholesome weekend. Personally, I am starting the week feeling pretty blessed after spending some time with my new little niece, who is the tiniest bundle of perfection. I am still operating off the fumes of excitement, so I am pretty pumped for the week ahead. Now, without further ado, let's jump into the first riddle of the week.

I have seas without water. I have forests without wood. I have deserts without sand. I have houses with no brick. What am I?

Submit your answers in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow.
