Riddle: Pat was an underwater adventurer for most of his life. He came from a very large family who also were known for their ocean experiences. One day, while exploring an area of the ocean floor near a shark-infested region, Pat encountered one of the vicious beasts who bit off one of his arms, but left him alive. Not one of Pat’s numerous family members expressed any sadness or gave any words of comfort to him after the attack; however, a miraculous event began to take place for him —— his arm which had been chewed off, began to slowly grow back. It was a slow process, but within a year Pat’s arm was fully and miraculously restored; however, no mention of this incredible healing was reported in any medical journal or newspaper in the country. Just imagine —— a severed arm was completely regrown, but no one reported it or even noticed it! So, my question to you is: who exactly was Pat, and why didn’t this miraculous healing become known to the entire world?
Answer: Pat was a Starfish who lived in the ocean, and had the unique ability to regenerate it’s arms if any of them were ever lost.
