Kiwi's Adventure

At last! You meet your friend Kea. He looks like he was expecting you somehow.

You ask him to help you fly and he responds with this:

Well, my friend, flying is not so hard. It is not a matter of the physics but the mind. In order to fly, all you must do is solve my 3 riddles.

You tell him that doesn’t make any sense and he retorts:

Since brevity is the soul of wit

And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,

I will be brief.

The riddles 3 I have prepared

have your mind already snared.

To leave the ground,

you must compound

the flesh and the thought.

For a flightful mind

leaves balance behind.

Yet a sharpened one

makes the air run

in the form which a voyage gets caught.

You agree to solve his riddles.
