Hey guys! It's CRSW again, back with the next riddle. I can't believe I hadn't got that previous riddle *cries*

But seriously, good thing that EVERYONE could solve that one. This means I need not put the answer. Right?


The answer for the previous riddle: The narrator, Kai, is dead. That's why he is being ignored by everyone.

And everybody solved this one XD


Tala lives in Japan and often uses the subway to go for work in the morning. One day, when he was waiting for the train, he noticed a homeless man standing in a corner of the subway station, muttering to himself as people passed by.

He was holding out a cup and seemed to be begging for spare change. A fat woman passed by the homeless man and Tala distinctly heard him say, "Pig." 'Wow,' he thought to himself. 'This homeless man is insulting people and he still expects them to give him money?'

Then a tall businessman went by and the homeless guy muttered, "Human." 'Human? I can't argue with that. Obviously, he is a human.'

The next day, Tala arrived early at the subway station and had some time to kill, so he decided to stand close to the homeless man and listen to his strange mutterings.

A thin, haggard-looking man passed in front of him and Tala heard the homeless guy mutter, "Cow." 'Cow?' He thought. 'The man is much too skinny to be a cow. He looks more like a turkey or a chicken to me.'

A minute or so later, a fat man went by and the homeless man said, "Potato." 'Potato? I was under the impression that he called all fat people pigs.'

That day, at work, Tala couldn't stop thinking about the homeless man and his puzzling behavior. He kept trying to find some logic or pattern in what he was muttering. 'Perhaps he has some kind of psychic ability,' he thought. 'Maybe he knows what these people were in a previous life. In Japan, many people believe in reincarnation.'

Tala observed the homeless man many times and began to think his little theory was right. He often heard him calling people things like 'Rabbit' or 'Onion' or 'Sheep' or 'Tomato'.

One day, curiosity got the better of him and he decided to ask him what was going on.

As Tala walked up to the man, he looked at him and said, "Bread." Tala tossed some money into his cup and asked him if he had some kind of psychic ability. The homeless man smiled and said, "Yes, indeed. I do have a psychic ability. It is an ability I obtained years ago. But it is not what you might expect. I can't tell the future or read minds or anything like that."

"Then what is your ability?" Tala asked eagerly.

"The ability is merely to know the last thing somebody ate," he said.

Tala laughed because he realized the man was right. He said 'bread'. The last thing he had eaten for breakfast that day was toast.

Tala walked away shaking his head. Of all the psychic abilities someone could have, that one must be the most useless.
