The answer to this riddle is "rain." Rain falls from the sky in a vertical direction, resembling a standing position, and it "runs" or travels along the ground in a horizontal manner when it lands, akin to lying down. This riddle plays on the dual nature of rain's movement depending on its position in the atmosphere and on the ground.

Wiper motor here it running but wipers don't move?

There is an arm on the motor that runs to a transmission that connects both wipers. It is a plastic cup that snaps over a ball. Either end of that rod can pop off or the plastic breaks and it falls off. On most cars, the section of the hood that the wipers come through with the slots comes off so that you can get to this arm. If you look down through the slots you can probably see the arm laying on the bottom.


Do fresh waters cause a rise in sea level?

No. Fresh water is part of the water cycle. It rises from the sea into the clouds. It falls as rain or snow. It runs down mountains where we catch it, drink it, pass it, and it runs away back into the sea. No rise in sea levels.
