The More You Walk, the More You Leave

Riddle:

The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?

Answer:

Footsteps – This sounds paradoxical because “taking” something usually means removing or consuming it. But here, “take” refers to taking steps. With each step, you leave behind a footprint. So the more you walk (i.e., take), the more you leave traces (i.e., footprints) behind. It’s a clever play on multiple meanings of the word “take.”
