we tell stories - riddle

[mjulian]

Can anyone help me solve this riddle please?
"My first is in sugar and also in sweet,
My second's a legume, tasty to eat,
My third is myself, my fourth's an old chick,
My fifth's in an apple and also a brick,
My sixth just repeats what my fourth said above,
My seventh's a thousand, you will be my love,
My eighth's simply fifty, my ninth is a breeze,
If you follow my meaning you'll find it with ease.
My whole is a strange name, of that there's no doubt,
But though berries may lie, the truth it will out.
You may call me a thing but I swear I'm a man,
Now come and find me. That is, if you can."

Having gone over it all weekend, all I can come up with is: SPI...ML.

The word spells the name of a fictitious mysterious goblin so it could be anything.

Any help gratefully recceived. Many thanks.

This has been already answered in Riddles, but I'm sorry I cannot remember the answer.
I think the question title had 'Penguin' in it.l

Many thanks, both of you - I had tired We tell stories + riddle but this came up with nothing.

Thanks again.
