1000+ Riddles with Answers, Edited by Melkisedeck Leon Shine

I'm tall when I'm young and short when I'm old. What am I?

The answer to the riddle is... a candle! 🕯️

Explanation: When a candle is young, it's tall because it hasn't been burned much. But as it grows older and gets used, it becomes shorter as it slowly melts away. Just like our birthdays, we start tall and then get shorter with each passing year! 😉🎂
