Riddle: "When this giant blows with its nose, it sounds like a trumpet."

Answer: Elephant.

Why?

1. Think of a giant animal with a very long nose — that long nose is called a trunk.
2. An elephant uses its trunk like a nose to breathe and to make loud noises.
3. Elephant sounds are often described as trumpeting, just like a trumpet.
4. So the giant that blows with its nose and sounds like a trumpet is an elephant.

Hint (if you want to ask someone):

Big, gray, has a very long nose and big floppy ears.

Small fix to the riddle's wording:

Better grammar: "When this giant blows with its nose, it sounds like a trumpet." (or shorter: "This giant blows with its nose and sounds like a trumpet.")

Nice riddle — simple and fun for a 6-year-old!
