New riddles Ashgrove Amusement Park is back!!!!!
What Am I?
What is the longest and yet the shortest thing in the world,
The swiftest and yet the slowest, the most divisible and the most extended,
The least valued and the most regretted, without which nothing can be done,
Which devours everything, however small, and yet opens the life and spirit
To every object, however great?
What Is It?
What is it that is too much for one,
Enough for two,
And nothing at all for three?
All the other pages seem the same. And the scrambled words is back to Fairy Tales.

I have thought of a solution to this, but I don't know if it is the correct one
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Gossip or Lies. Swiftest to get around except to the last to know, most divisible - it can divide family and friends, most extended - every time it is told something else gets added to it. Least valued, most regretted, who values gossip as worth anything, and it is regretted if it is proven to be not true. Devours everything, well people like to talk about the minutia of their neighbor's lives don't they? opens the life ... well if everyone is talking about you, your life is opened whether you want it or not.

quick.
I hear it's a great ride.

Actually time and fate.
It;s a riddle found in a Celtic story about the Solstice and the Sidhe and Duanan or whatever their name is.

Lyonesse :

TRISTRAM OF LYONESSE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE
Lilliput and Blefuscu are the two island nations that appear in the classic novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, they lie next to each other. Lilliput and Blefuscu are permenantly at war-the reason for this war was due to the Lilliputian way of eating eggs-from the rounded end, as opposed to the Blefuscan way of eating eggs-from the sharp end. Gulliver ends the war between the two countries.

riddle What Is It?
What is it that is too much for one,
Enough for two,
And nothing at all for three?
when I was a little kid I had a riddle book and I remember this riddle but in my book the answer was a wife.
