Since there are requests for more (well, one so far 
), I'll share this one my grandpa used to tell.
If you haven't heard it before, it may not be easy, because it is really not that intuitive.
"Chiquito como un ratón, cuida la casa como un león"
P.S. I'm curious: Why are we calling these "Enigmas" Shouldn't they be "Adivinanzas"?

Don't give up. You are close with this one.. :-D - Gekkosan, Mar 26, 2010
All right. Tennismom convinced me that she was thinking of the right thing when she gave this answer, so I'll accept it, even though it's not really the right word. - Gekkosan, Mar 28, 2010
Wow...not only did I get a vote, I got a new word!! - tennismom, Mar 28, 2010

All right, all right. Maybe this one was just too abstract. I'll post a new, easier one.
The answer to this one is : "El candado" (The Padlock). As you can see, Tennismom, you were real close!

Oh, well. Problem is, when I learned Spanish (in the Dark Ages), the word I learned for lock WAS cerradura.... - tennismom, Mar 27, 2010
Sorry. Padlock - Gekkosan, Mar 27, 2010
Perhaps in those days there wasn't any other kind.... :) - tennismom, Mar 27, 2010
Aw, come on! You are TennisMOM, NOT TennisGranny! I can also see your birthdate in your profile, so I know you're nowhere near as old as all that! :-p - Gekkosan, Mar 28, 2010
