Hm hmm hm. I was wondering whether to write it there or not, or whether to write it later if people wanted clarification or hint... but I can start with it, because it was meant to be the point of the riddle to identify the two subjects, and it would be pretty confusing - so yes, there are two subjects in the riddle. The 1st, 3rd and 5th belong to one, the 2nd and 4th to the other.
