Riddles

I just figured that riddles would be a fun thing to do. This may turn into a riddle competition later on. Post a riddle in the comments!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

A very clever talking lion is on the loose. Its paws were gripped on a young boy. The mother begged the lion to release her son. The lion said to the mother, "If you can guess what I will do to him, then I will release him. If you fail, then I will eat him." What should the mother say so that he can save her son?
