Riddle
My tines be long, my tines be short. My tines end ere, my first report. What am I?
Choose an answer
A.Thunder
B.A storm
C.A rainbow
D.Lightning
Hint: It's a word with 9 letters, starting with "L".
Answer

Why this is the answer
Lightning's branching "tines" (forks) come in varying lengths, and because light travels faster than sound, the flash always ends before its thunderclap ("report") is heard.
