Hi there!
I have a suggestion about the second one, so I think it is a cancer. Why cancer? Fishermen hate them because they cut their nets, doctors hate it because they don't know if they can heal the patient, children love it because they very often play with them on the beach.

Correct answer! What about the other riddle? Can you propose a fitting answer?

[gerince]

Not yet. I'm working on it.

[gerince]

Thinking, thinking, let me tell you what I've thought.
Fishermen enjoy fishes but doctors and children also do, so it can't be the right answer. Then I thought what other things fishermen use to catch the fishes? They use a bite. What bite? Worms. Then I remembered how much we've loved to play with worms as children. Doctors hate it, we know why. So my answer is worms.
P.s. Apples hate them too!

Hahaha, this conclusion with the apples is really amusing. I didn’t think of that…

Anyway, your answer is absolutely correct and you will be the winner of the puzzle!

Good deduction and good persistence. The persistence is always the key of solving tough riddles!

Puzzle/Riddle is still open for those who can propose other suitable answers.
