The riddle in Hsiang Ho Pirate Village


 

It says that a pirate called Tsai Hyena hided all his property in Tun Shih, Chiayi County, Taiwan. If you can solve his riddle you can find his hidden treasure. Perhaps you can ask his descendants living in Hsiang Ho Fishing Ground. Help them to solve this riddle. Perhaps you can have your own rewards! Here is the Hyena’s riddle:

 

 

‘Beware ever step when it’s closer.

Stay vigilant as the boat cross the river.

Cuz the vicious strings like to be a joker.

If the winged diving into the mud, it is nearer.

Make your bald step into the judder.

Seek the key in the clutter.

Take them with you to join in Hyena’s supper.

Drink the water inside the fire.

Then the undying blessing will last forever and ever.’
