(detectivebarou) “A serpent swam in a silver urn A golden bird did in its mouth abide The serpent drank the water, this in turn Killed the serpent. Then the gold bird died.” ((payback friend <3)) "If you can't solve it then you have to stop stealing."

“A lamp? Not the electric ones, ones that use oil. The bird being the flame, ‘serpent’ being the mechanism, and urn containing oil? And assuming ‘drinking water’ means using up the oil,not actually getting doused in water, else the ‘bird’ would die before the ‘serpent’ stopped working. I don’t have any intention of quitting my job anytime soon, tantei-kun.”
