A human, or man. A person would have four legs as a baby (crawling), two legs as a child, teenager, adult (walking) and three legs as an old person with a cane!
Please note that the time references are metaphors for different times in a person's life. Some variations add "midnight" and not having any life. That would be a metaphor for death.
This is a very old and famous riddle, as old as ancient Greek mythology, and it is called the Riddle of the Sphinx. It one of the many riddles said to be asked by the Sphinx to people who crossed it's path.
This is the classic Riddle of the Sphinx; the Sphinx at Thebes posed the riddle to travelers; if they failed to solve it, they were killed, if they answered it correct the Sphinx would kill itself; Oedipus answered it correctly.
Man was the reply of Oedipus to the riddle of the Sphinx . Oedipus : "Man - who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then walks with a cane in old age. "
The cane is an ancient symbol representing knowledge according to Egyptian belief.
