What force and strength
can not get through,
I with a gentle touch can do,
and many in the streets would stand,
were i not as a friend in hand.
What am i?
A vessel have I, that is round as a pear
A vessel have I,
that is round as a pear,
moist in the middle,
surrounded with hair,
and often it happens
that water flows there.
What am i?
From wood it’s made, from string it’s made
From wood it’s made,
from string it’s made,
it floats upon the wind.
it’s made by one,
it’s made by many,
from hands and mouths it spins.
A score without a game,
a staff not for the lame,
with seven letters tamed,
with five letters named.
What is it?
What does man love more than life
What does man love more than life,
fear more than death or mortal strife?
What do the poor have, what the rich require,
and what contented men desire?
What does the miser spend, the spendthrift save,
and all men carry to their graves?
I’m the part of the bird that’s not in the sky
I’m the part of the bird that’s not in the sky.
I can swim in the ocean and yet remain dry.
What am i?
I never ask question
I never ask question,
but you people always answer me,
who am i?
What can fall on water
What can fall on water,
still does not get wet?
What goes around the world
What goes around the world
but stays in a corner?
I am weightless
I am weightless,
I cry, but you can see me.
put me in a bucket,
and I’ll make it lighter.
What am i?
I fly, yet i have no wings
I fly, yet i have no wings.
I cry, yet i have no eyes.
Darkness follows me,
lower light I never see.
What am i?
