As I was going to St. Ives
"As I was going to St. Ives" is a fun little riddle that goes like this: there was a man who was going to St. Ives, and he met a bunch of other people along the way. The man counted the number of people he met, but it's not clear in the riddle whether he was actually counting himself or not. Then the riddle asks you to figure out how many people were really going to St. Ives.
So, let's break it down as if you were 5 years old. There was a man who was walking to a place called St. Ives. He met some people along the way, but we don't know how many. The riddle asks how many people were also going to St. Ives, but we're not sure if the man was going there alone or not.
It's kind of like playing a guessing game. The riddle gives us a little information, but not all of it, and we have to try to figure it out. It's a fun brain teaser that makes us think and use our imaginations.
