Br_logo_small Up and down my destiny
My name
Behold, beheld.

This is a riddle about a see saw. The wording is rich with mystique, yet the answer is something you'd find on a playground. There are a lot of ways to interpret Behold and Beheld besides see and saw. Someone thought of a zipper. When it's down -- behold. Then beheld when it's back up. Someone else took behold and beheld to mean sea and scene. Ah! A sea scene with waves and sandy beaches. Another player, with a completely different spin on it emphasized behold and beheld. He thought it was a yo-yo.

NEW RIDDLE:
In December
See her nest
Among the oblong fruit she rests.
