manuela... is the answer to your riddle "Space" ?

Riddle: What crawls on four, then walks on two, then on three?

[noriko]

O good one!

Is it a human being? Because when a baby, he/she crawls on all four, as a child and an adult, walks on two, and as an old person, walks with a stick, adding an extra to two legs, which makes it three?
