I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns. What are the three things?

Choose an answer

A.Chimney, ash, and heat
B.Pot, flame, and steam
C.Wood, spark, and ember
D.Stove, fire, and smoke.
Hint: It's a 4-word phrase with 17 letters, starting with "S".

Answer

Stove, fire, and smoke.

Why this is the answer

A stove stays fixed in place, a fire always 'hungers' for more fuel no matter how much is added, and smoke rises and disperses, never returning.
