 Preface
Here is a book of a collection of
many riddles. Some of these were
created a long time ago but they were
never forgotten because they have
been retold by grandparents to their
children and grandchildren.
Some of them came from other
places but developed the kankanaey-
Bagnen flavor in the course of their
being retold for many years.
It is hoped that teachers and
adults will enjoy reading these riddles
to the their children and pupils, just
for fun and mind exercise but at the
same time preserving our local part of
literature which has been inherited
from long ago will never be forgotten
or lost because it is now in books.
