riddle - I am shaggy below, Sometimes the beautiful. Who am I?


I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come. I harm
No citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed.


I am shaggy below. Sometimes the beautiful
Peasant's daughter, an eager-armed,

Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,


Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.


Who am I?



Answer



I guess you are a



Red onion




Because:



You shouldn't look at the lines, but you should read the sentences.

I am a wonderful help to women, the hope of something to come
Food? Food!

I harm no citizen except my slayer
Unless it's a poisoned onion it won't harm anyone except the one who's slaying it

Rooted I stand on a high bed
Here the word bed means garden bed or a flowerbed and onions have roots

I am shaggy below
Yes you are!

Sometimes the beautiful Peasant's daughter, an eager-armed, Proud woman grabs my body, Rushes my red skin, holds me hard, Claims my head
A peasant probably has a bed(or a few) of onions, so his daughter will grab one from there and peel it

The curly-haired Woman who catches me fast will feel Our meeting
I guess if you throw an onion really fast into somebody, he/she will certainly feel it :)

Her eye will be wet

When you cut the onion normally your eyes start crying. Or if you throw an onion reeeeeeally hard into somebody it might hurt enough for him/her to start crying :)
