Riddles and rhymes play a significant role in the oral traditions of English-speaking cultures, especially among children. These playful puzzles often include puns, exemplified by classic examples like "What runs but never walks? A river." Beyond their entertainment value, enigmas and sayings have historically enriched poetic language. The seminar paper explores the evolution of Old English literature during the Anglo-Saxon Period, highlighting its vernacular roots and the influence of Latin and Germanic languages, particularly under King Alfred's patronage of poetry in monastic settings.
