A thousand fingers, yet no nails.
I build no walls, yet I can trap.
I wield no blade, yet I can slice.
What am I?
(scroll down for answer)
.
A net.
- "A hundred hands" : the knots or intersections in the net.
- "A thousand fingers" : the strands or threads.
- "Build no walls, yet I can trap" : a net traps without solid walls.
- "Wield no blade, yet I can slice" : a net can slice through water or air, or metaphorically divide things (like fishing nets separating fish from the sea).
