What has Four legs at the Morning,
Two in the afternoon,
And three in the evening?

a human. 'morning' symbolises the beginning of a person's life, when he/she is still a baby and crawling on 4 limbs, hence '4 legs'. 'afternoon' symbolises the middle/majority of his/her life, when he/she walks upright with 2 legs. 'evening' symbolises the golden years of the person, when he/she walks with a cane, hence 3 legs.
