01 / Word riddle
Name the creature.
I’m a majestic beast, swift and bold,
In fields of green, my tale unfolds.
A noble creature, with hooves that prance,
A symbol of freedom in every glance.
I can move swiftly, by day or night,

Though I may be pure, like snow, of course,
Can you guess what I am with my grace and force?
